Lots of "chicken skin" moments (and tears of joy/pride) watching the end of a 3 year journey. The passing of knowledge from one to another validates the skill and courage of the early Polynesians. To navigate the globe without modern technology, on this "floating classroom" is nothing short of amazing.
I feel the pride coming from kanaka maoli with the completion of this journey. A truly historic event.
Some chose to minimize the event. I chose to honor the brave men and women who participated and completed this mission.
 I do not care about who financed it or who thought of it. I admire those who did it! Eddie Would Go! Did you? Some are truly Ha'ole.
