The Hōkūleʻa is currently on its 4-year open water Moananuiākea voyage and they've docked in Ventura!
Join us in the courtyard behind the store for an evening talk story with the crew, where they'll share experiences from the 50-year history of Hōkūleʻa and talk about the mission of the 43,000 nautical mile, 47-month journey they embarked on this summer. We'll also hear from local Chumash community members about their history of tomol building and ocean navigation in California.
We'll have lots of time for Q&A, plus a chance to win some Patagonia gear, with all ticket proceeds going to the Polynesian Voyaging Society.
Food and drinks will be provided, and this event will be outside, so please dress for the weather.
Founded in 1973, the Polynesian Voyaging Society’s mission is to perpetuate the art and science of traditional Polynesian voyaging and the spirit of exploration through experiential educational programs that inspire students and their communities to respect and care for themselves, each other, and their natural and cultural environments.
Through voyaging, PVS hopes to inspire humanity to care for the earth by highlighting the vital importance of oceans, indigenous knowledge, communities, education and sustainability.
