SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Hōkūleʻa and her crewmembers sailed into iconic Sydney Harbor yesterday, the latest port on her Worldwide Voyage that began in Honolulu last May. They were greeted at the dock by international dignitaries, aboriginal elders, leaders in ocean conservation and members of the local community eager to welcome the canoe to Sydney.
The canoe arrived from Coffs Harbor, her first landfall in Australia, after sailing approximately 1200 nautical miles from New Zealand through daunting weather conditions. Hālau Mōhala ʻIlima from Kailua, Oahu was at the harbor to greet Hōkūleʻa upon arrival with traditional ʻoli (chant) and hula.
