Aloha Kato-Sama, Once again thank-you so very much for your up-to-date and "spot-on-target information... I look forward in following the progress of the most "gifted-n-talented" Youths coming from
"Kokutaji" high school and the National Olympic Memorial Youth Center students... Yes absolutely the Life Time Energy of what the "Star of Gladness" has brought to all maritime communities thru out all Pacifica and Oceania (especially the Hawaii-Japan connection is trully "Dol"fun"-skin inspiring, "I do" believe that the way that "Hokule'a", along with her chosen crews(representing from Hawaii,Satawal and all of Micronesia, from Okinawa, from Amami; and from the Japan islands) full of "Aloha" to give and accept is that "true" model to follow of where our future youth will be taking us -OK. As the "Hawaii-Japan Voyaging Society" finishes their "pet-project" (building "Tigers-Dream" of Wa'a Kaulua o Kamakura) and all the systems are dailed-in and everything and everyone is "Pono" we will have the start of an universial expression of "Un-conditional Aloha". Yes, to find out more about this global concept contact Capt./Sailing Master/Navigator Tua Pittmann( I believe Ramona at PVS can get you in touch with Capt. Pittmann)- and listen to his all encouraging ideals of a future "flotilla" of Oceanic Voyaging Canoes to Circum-Navigate the globe "expressing the universial (agap'e) un-conditional love "Aloha" to all nations- one Love one Ocean one People One Heart- "for the people", "by the people', and "with the people"... All under One banner of "Aloha", yes trully indeed this is the True "spirit" of what "Hokule'a","Alingano Maisu", "Hawai'i Loa", "Makali'i", "HokuAlaka'i"; and the future of what possibly "Kamakura" will bring to the "designing-board"( potentially a whole fleet coming from the "Hui" (communities all rallying together) from Japan islands,Okinawa islands and Amami islands. From Japan to Hawaii to Aeotearoa,to -Rarotonga to Rapa Nui, and back again to Hawaii: the complete outreach of "the complete" Pacific Pyramid-ok. I can dream of future "Visions" of Tua's insight of Fleets of Voyaging Wa'a and Waka.Me Ke Aloha jais'/iruka...
