The crews unrigged the damaged sweep and took it ashore to be repaired in the workshop of a voyaging supporter. Once the sweep's repairs are complete, it will be lashed back into place on the canoe and tested.

Escort boat Kama Hele is a few miles away from the canoes, tied up at Honokohau Small Boat Harbor.

The canoe leadership has not identified which canoe's sweep failed, maintaining that the identification of the specific canoe is not useful in terms of thinking of the voyage as a unified mission.
