We woke up at 3 in the morning to sail out to meet the seven Vaka as they came down to Lahaina after crossing from Hilo on the Big Island the night before. Seeing the sails of the the seven vaka on the horizon was a beautiful sight to behold. We took some friends with us and gave the crews of the vaka a good cheer as they cruised passed.
One of my favorite details of the vaka are the traditional rig sails which have beautiful designs decorating the awesome tan bark material... a great color to begin with! (Then again I think I am biased!)
