A daunting canoe voyage — covering almost 500 kilometers, or about 300 miles across a stretch of the Pacific Ocean — is underway.
Crew members train for the Hoki Mai challenge, a voyage that covers almost 500 kilometers, or about 300 miles across a stretch of the Pacific Ocean, in Rapa Nui, a territory that is part of Chile and is better known as Easter Island, Thursday, Nov. 24, 2022. The canoe voyage of 12 crew members, nine Rapanuis, two Chileans and one Hawaiian, seeks to raise awareness about the importance of women in the world, urge protection of the environment, and celebrate the union of the islands of Polynesia.
“I am very grateful to all the Tahitians for teaching me their culture and how to row,” he said. “I came from France, but they accepted me and allowed me to share this with them." “The training has been hard, especially for those of us who are less experienced,” said Konturi Atán, a 36-year-old historian.
“We practiced rowing at night, we practiced getting little sleep, we practiced training every day. Gym, rowing, gym, rowing, gym, rowing. Except for Sunday, when we rest,” Atán said.
