170617-N-NU281-0391 MAGIC ISLAND, Hawaii (June 17, 2017) The traditional Polynesian voyaging canoe, Hōkūle‘a, returns to Hawaii after an around-the-world journey. For the last three years, crewmembers relied only on their understanding of nature's cues: ocean swells, stars, the wind, and birds to navigate across roughly 47,000 nautical miles, to 85 ports and 26 nations, spreading a message of "malama honua": Caring for the earth.
