Palani Wright, a crewmember of escort boat Kama Hele, adjusts the bonds that hold the tiki to the Hokule'a. The voyaging canoe arrived at the Marine Education Center at Ke'ehi Lagoon after its journey that originated in Hanalei, Kaua'i, took it around Kure Atoll, back to Hanalei, where it changed crews, and then to O'ahu. |
