And by star setting and rising points.
And sea signs ("landmarks" such as "two whales").
And bird activity.
And everything else that has been incorporated into their navigation system.Definitely more than wind and waves.

A nice article in AP about hokulea, although calling it a "canoe" is a bit of an understatement. It's an ocean-crossing vessel: "How a canoe helped turn Hawaiian culture into a source of pride and even influenced Hollywood"

Feeling so thankful and empowered and blessed and fierce about both being in Hawai'i as part of an intercultural leadership development/ exchange program, and also getting to see in person Hōkūle‘a right before her 50th birthday. (https://hokulea.com/history/)

If you want to read more about the #hokulea her birth and travels, as well as a beautiful portrait of the Hawaiians in their journey to regain their lost knowledge of wayfinding, or journeying across oceans, navigating by the stars. This book is wonderful read. #CHICKENSKIN

Yay! I saw it and got to talk to another longtime fan of the #hokulea and the abilities of #Polynesian navigators. Amazing to think that they were so skilled that this 60 foot beauty could carry them all across the #PacificOcean. #hawaii #indigenous #sailing

The #hokulea is in #Victoria. After some chores this morning I’m headed over the #Malahat to hopefully see it and maybe meet some of the crew. It’s been a long wait and I thought it would bypass southern #VancouverIsland. Will post some photos if it’s still there. #Hawaii #indigenous

The #hokulea is in #Alaska now visiting our #Tlingit relatives and will be heading south down the coast in August thru November. This amazing vessel and the people who sail her are an incredible connection to #hawaiian ancestors who navigated the #PacificOcean. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to see her and welcome the crew ashore. #pnw #VancouverIsland

Hokulea is starting a new voyage, this time circumnavigating the Pacific. She is being transported to Juneau to start the circuit.
