Students Navigate to Kauai on Hokulea
It's the voyage of a lifetime. Nearly a dozen students have set sail on the Hokule'a and they'll be looking to the sky to guide them.
Eleven students, ages 16 to 19, are sailing from Oahu to Kauai to Nihoa Island and they're doing it without any navigational instruments.
In the past month, they've been in the classroom learning about navigation and safety. Now they're ready and grateful or the chance to sail on a piece of Hawaiian history.
"Whether it connects them with their roots or they learn something new, a lot of people get changed by it," said first-time traveler Austin Kino. "They get changed as a Hawaiian, they get changed as a person and so that's kind of what I'm looking for."
While on Kauai, they plan to clean up beaches and give tours of the Hokule'a.
The main goal is to educate students about its history and Hawaiian culture.
