After using entirely non-instrument navigation to find Nihoa and Mokumanamana islands, the Hokule’s crew uses modern technique — including satellite positioning gear, charts and plotting tools — to find a route through the coral reefs of French Frigate Shoals. Clockwise from left, Leimomi Dierks, Nainoa Thompson, Bruce Blankenfeld and Kanako Uchino. See story. |

| Navigator Ka'iulani Murphy, exhausted after having stayed awake for more than 30 hours during Hokule'a's voyage from Nihoa island, took the opportunity to catch a nap after crew member Russell Amimoto spotted the island of Mokumanamana. See story. |
|
Hokule'a's crew spotted Mokumanamana about 10 a.m. yesterday, 28 hours after leaving Nihoa. Crew member Ka'iulani Murphy was the lead navigator but drew on the experience of captain Nainoa Thompson and sailing master Bruce Blankenfeld to make a pinpoint landfall. Murphy called it a team effort. See story. |
