A Hokule'a Video Gallery

These video clips were shot at Maunalua Bay, O'ahu, on July 15, 1997, as part of the production of public service announcements for Ke Ala Hoku ("The Star Path"), an organization of youth and adults dedicated to envisioning and shaping a desired future for Hawai'i. The crew included students from Ke Ala Hoku and the Wai'anae High School Marine Science Learning Center and sailors from the Polynesian Voyaging Society under captain/navigator Nainoa Thompson. Video clips courtesy of KHON-TV. A copy of RealPlayer G2 is needed to view the clips.
