To Kanehunamoku and Magic Island...

Our 2nd meeting date brings us another day of adventure,

In the morning the MAMDRP group headed on over to Halau Ku Mana (public charter school) up in Makiki to help work on Kanehunamoku (a voyaging canoe and mo‘opuna [granddaughter] of Hokule‘a) as part of their community service.  The plan for the MAMDRP group is to launch some 1800 blocks into the ocean with the help of Kanehunamoku.  For their community service project, the haumana sanded the main posts and iako of the canoe.


Before lunch, the haumana learned an oli...

"Lele A‘e"

And then a haka...

Hokule‘a Haka

Holo i ke kai (Alaka‘i)

Ku‘e, ku‘e

Ia wa‘a Hokule‘a (Alaka‘i)

After lunch was pau, the MAMDRP group went over to Magic Island to do their swim test, as part of their certification for when they board on Kanehunamoku for their research project.
