#Pacific circumnavigation

 The four-year journey spans an estimated 43,000 nautical miles, 36 countries and archipelagoes, nearly 100 Indigenous territories and more than 400 ports.

The Polynesian voyaging canoe, Hōkūleʻa, is expected to depart Prince Rupert in British Columbia today, for a 12-hour sail to Hartley Bay. The Moananuiākea Voyage to circumnavigate the Pacific launched last month.  The 41,000 mile journey will take 42-months to complete, and includes stops in 46 countries and archipelagoes.
