HANALEI BAY, Kaua'i — Hokule'a's departure for the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands has been delayed due to predicted extremely light and variable winds.

Capt. Nainoa Thompson tonight revised the crew's time for reporting on board from noon tomorrow to noon Saturday.

The canoe had been scheduled to sail at 9 a.m. Saturday. No new departure time was announced.

Normal tradewinds were not expected to return until Tuesday, the National Weather Service was reporting tonight.
