Abstract: Perhaps the greatest stimulant to the modern study of traditional navigation in the South Pacific came from Hawaii’s Polynesian Voyaging Society (1973), which took as an early project the construction and sailing of Hawaiian doubledhulled canoes. When their first canoes were completed, the society turned to Satawal in the Carolinas for help in navigation. This article describes one trip from Satawal to the Marianas and the problems and pleasures encountered.
