- In this weeks video, you get to see something a little bit different. Normally we take other people out fishing and adventuring, however, this week we get invited to go out with our good friend Dale - Sailing a traditional WAKA!!!
Dale recently sailed across the pacific ocean from Tahiti to Aotearoa, New Zealand on board a traditional sailing waka 'Fa'afaite. He was given an opportunity to captain the waka "Hinemoana" as part of the Tuia 250 Encounters, happening here in New Zealand. Of course, we were beyond excited when we were invited to come aboard and experience what traditional voyaging.
was all about!
We meet some incredible people, encounter some less desirable wind directions, eat some delicious kingfish sashimi, listen to beautiful waiata (singing) and are welcomed onto Umupuia Marae with a Powhiri (Welcome). Rata has the experience of a life time, connecting with her culture and having a go at the 'Hoe' (tiller), which she absolutely loved!
The background music throughout this video is actually sung by our crew on board Hinemoana and the other Waka!!! AMAZING. Intro and Outro background music: maisey rika tangaroa Whakamautai.
Special thanks to: the Hinemoana crew, Capt Dale, Hoturoa, Rangi, Turoa, Tiffany, Nga Roma, Hiro, Henare, Papa Tavita, & 'Sonny Jim' ; the entire Tuia 250 whaanau; and Graeme Pepper for the drone footage used in this video.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did and look forward to bringing you more of our adventures each week.
NEXT WEEK - We get straight back into taking others out fishing on board our charter vessel "Whitiangler" and it is absolute mayhem!! Tune in next week to see it all unfold.
