Yesterday, Saturday June 17, the Hōkūle‘a, returned home to Hawaii after circumnavigating the globe. Sailing more than 40,000 nautical miles over a three year period, the Hōkūle‘a visited 85 ports and 26 nations.
The mission of the voyage was to spread the message of Mālama Honua (caring for island Earth) by promoting environmental consciousness, fostering learning environments, bring together island communities and growing a global movement towards a sustainable world – all something we are in great need of.
Sailing without compass, sextant, cellphone, watch or GPS, navigation was done by traditional Polynesian “wayfinding” using the sun, moon, starts wave patterns, and ocean currents. And they said it couldn’t be done. Well – they did it!
One main difference between Georgia and Florida requirement is that viagra online Florida needs you to complete extra driver education before you get your learner permit.

What an amazing journey all of the people involved had. They accomplished quite a feat all while spreading aloha and sharing their knowledge. Kudos to them!
Earth abides! In a time of astonishing leaps and accomplishments in technology, it’s ever so comforting to learn that the old ways still reign workable and useable – and in many so ways, Superior! What a beautiful message of Mālama Honua.
