Hokulea's departure for Palmyra Atoll canceled for sixth day in a row

Advertiser Staff

With forecasts calling for possible thundershowers today, the star of the voyaging canoe Hokulea's 1,000-mile sail to Palmyra Atoll was postponed again.

It is the sixth consecutive day that Hokulea's departure has been canceled.

Weather has been the key, as the canoe's non-instrument navigator needs clear skies to set an initial course.
