On Tuesday, January 19, at 6:00 p.m., the Maui Ocean Center is hosting a free lecture about Polynesian sea voyaging with Kekai Kapu.
Kekai Kapu will speak about ancient Polynesian navigation as well as the upcoming voyage of the Mo'okiha O Pi'ilani, the sixty-two-foot double-hulled voyaging canoe that is going to circumnavigate the globe in 2012. Kapu is a board member of Hui O Wa'a Kaulua (the Assembly of the Double-hulled Canoe), a Hawai'ian cultural practioner, and an expert on Hawai'ian weaponry.
The doors open at 5:50 p.m. (enter through the Ocean Center's front gate). The lecture is slated to run about an hour.
The Maui Ocean Center is located in Ma'alaea, just off the highway. For more information about the center -- and directions -- please visit http://www.mauioceancenter.com/.
