And Still The Waters Rise.

A conversation with Bonnie Kahapeʻa Tanner, program director and captain at the Kānehūnāmoku Voyaging academy. Kahapeʻa acquired her sailing skills, and many life skills, under the mentorship of Clay Bertelmann and the Makaliʻi ʻohana, as well as Papa Mau. These experiences, combined with her degree in psychology and various teaching positions, set the stage for her to create a voyaging academy. Her objective is to build self-awareness, cultural awareness, and leadership capacity in the next generation. We talk about her journey to become a sailor/captain, howKānehūnāmoku (the actual wa'a or canoe) came to be, her commitment to learning and perpetuating knowledge, and the impact made upon her by amazing mentors. Overall, this show is about how spending time on a canoe is really about finding your purpose, and deepening your understanding of life.
