So the Hokulea returned home yesterday..a huge thing for us and an astounding feat for any human..The canoe is a replica of the vessels that carried the first polynesians to hawaii .. around the whole planet by wind and star alone! epic! They estimate that the original Hawaiians accomplished this in around 800 AD (finding Hawaii I mean) No instruments..no metal.. no gps..

"Its crew navigated without modern instruments, using only the stars, wind and ocean swells as guides."

That is pretty impressive. Requires you to actually know what you're doing instead of relying on technology. Imagine that!

Cool story.
