A Message from Nainoa Thompson
Aloha!
We've accomplished much in 2008 with the tremendous support from our community of volunteers. It is all of who give Hokule‘a its mana and I personally want to thank you for your support.
Beginning in 2009, we will focus on making worthy contributions to our home here in the islands as well as the world. Our community will continually become more global, thus we will make an effort to take on world voyages to explore, discover, inspire and share. We will focus on training a new generation of leaders as it is time for some of us to pass the torch. These young leaders will be mentored and taught by some of the pioneers in voyaging in hopes that together we can keep voyaging strong. Please contact our office if you are interested in taking part in these trainings.

During the year, we were able to reach over 2,000 people through canoe tours, sails, lectures and presentations. In the coming year, we hope to reach more. There is much to do and it is my hope that you continue to support our vision.
