Ocean Voyaging - a podcast by RNZ

In honour of Sir Hekenukumai Busby and his knighthood ceremony this week, Te Ahi Kaa features interviews with Hekenukumai where he talks about his work to revive the artform of waka building and ocean voyaing. In 1992, Haare Williams is in the Far North as crew members prepare for the Maiden Voyage of waka hourua (double hulled) canoe Te Aurere to Rarotonga, and he explains how to read a Star Compass when figuring out the horizons that determine sailing directions.
