Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia, the voyaging canoes of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, have reached the Intertropical Convergence Zone, commonly known as the doldrums, as they continue their journey from Hilo to Tahiti, a resumption of the Moananuiākea Voyage. This marks a major milestone in the canoes’ progress south along Kealaikahiki, the ancestral sea road to Tahiti.
