Hikianalia and her crew will be welcomed this Sunday at Aquatic Park in San Francisco. Dodging storms has been the story for so many people this week. We are happy to report that the Polynesian Voyaging Society's Hikianalia has made its way safely to the West Coast and is now docked at Half Moon Bay. Captain Lehua Kamalu discussed how the crew fared during the voyage.
