Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia are back in Hawaiian waters after a voyage down Kealaikahiki to Tahiti and back.
The crew sighted Hawaiʻi Island’s Mauna Loa at approximately 4 a.m. Tuesday. The canoes are now headed to Keauhou where they will dock to clear customs at approximately 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Depending on ocean conditions, the canoes will depart for Oʻahu Thursday and arrive at METC at Sand Island the same day.
