7 Waka Moana set sail from Auckland yesterday for Hawaii. Navigating by the stars in the traditional Polynesian style from Auckland to Hawaii via French Polynesia (and eventually San Francisco).
On left, Te Matau a Maui (NZ, Aotearoa), centre Gaualofa (Samoa), and right, Uto Ni Yalo (Fiji). They sail via Fakarava, Nuku Hiva (French Polynesia.), Hilo, Kawaihae, Honolulu (and eventually San Francisco)! Brave.

Definitely brave! That is so amazing that they are doing it that way. Great sketches and coloring of the boats.
It'd be really cool if sketchers in Hawaii and SFO sketch them when they arrived to their shores. Really enjoying the maritime theme!
Thanks NoviceArtist and Gabi. That's an excellent idea Gabi - any sketchers out there in Hawaii or SFO keen?
I wouldn't mind being in Fakarava or Nuku Hiva myself to draw them come in - they look pretty idyllic!
