KS Executive Strategy Consultant Dr. Shawn Kanaʻiaupuni and captain/master navigator Kalepa Baybayan were among the crew members aboard the voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa as it reached Havana, Cuba.

Hōkūleʻa arrived in Cuba on Friday, March 18. Another historic first in this worldwide voyage.

Crewmembers sound the pū as they arrive in Havana.

From Cuba, Hōkūleʻa will sail up to US waters and stop at Key West before making her arrival in the continental U.S. at Everglades City, Fla., at the end of March.
