In June, we posted about Polynesian voyaging canoes of the “Te Mana o Te Moana” (Spirit of the Sea) expedition arriving in Hilo, Hawaii after sailing from New Zealand by way of the Marquesas and Tahiti.    Yesterday, six of the vaka, traditional voyaging canoes, from several island nations sailed into San Francisco through the Golden Gate. Plans are shaping up for a a celebration of greeting to be held on Treasure Island this weekend.   Thanks to Bonnie for pointing out their arrival.
