For me, it has been almost two years since seeing Hōkūleʻa. I played the moment in my head over and over before seeing her again, but when we were reunited, it was like seeing your family after being apart for a long time – instantly familiar again, like you were never apart.

The leg 24 crew takes a moment at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt museum in New York for an educational engagement.

Kaipo Kīʻaha is a 2008 KS Maui graduate and serves as a photographer for ʻŌiwi TV, documenting the voyage.

The Final Four crew members Manuel Mejia, Kī'aha, Jackie Meggs and Hana Yoshihata depart Honolulu to join the rest of the Leg 24 crew.

KS Senior Program Manager Mark Ellis is also a crew member on Leg 24.
