The Hawaiian outrigger sailing canoe called Hokule'a (ho-koo-LAY ah) just started a round-the-world voyage, navigated by only using the stars, sun and moon, ocean currents and so forth, like the ancient Polynesians did centuries ago.

Okay, I don't know why the link is not working, but it's simple enough to type in.

Thanks for the link Jim. When in Hawaii in '91, I bought a painting of one of those canoes and planned to someday make a model of it. Maybe I can dig up enough info now to start the project.
