Today was pretty much a workday since most of it was spent in the harbor. A lot of the time was spent organizing the Hokulea’s and Hikianalia’s food, which takes surprisingly long. It’s actually pretty interesting to know that the crew orders a mass majority of their food because I thought much of it was either caught or somehow grown on the vessel. I mean I guess it does makes sense in hindsight since it ensures that everyone on the wa’a will get food and not starve to death, but I just thought the Hokulea was just a super sustainable boat that didn’t rely on outside food sources. Anyways, I was pretty impressed with the kind of food they get on the wa’a. They eat super well for a voyaging cone, but yah I really under estimated the amount of time and work that needs to be put into the boat. Packing alone already took 6+ hours and that was some tedious labor. It’s not just putting whatever into taxes. The crew organizes it in a good fashion to where they base each container of food for the day off a certain calorie count and nutritious plan. At the same time they also had a lot of food to package anyways and so trying to dins everything was also pretty challenging. Additionally we also did a little science work and did some work miscellaneous things back on the Hokulea. Overall a pretty productive day.
