Yesterday, the Hōkūle'a and her crew spotted Rapa Nui after sailing over 2000 miles and 16 days. They navigate relying solely on ancient Polynesian Wayfinding Knowledge, making this leg of the voyage a monumental task. The last time the Hōkūle'a spotted Rapa Nui was 17 years, 4 months and 18 days ago, a voyage that 'closed the triangle'.
