Semester at Sea

The school ship "Robert C. Seamans" stopped in to Kealakekua Bay. Based out of Woods Hole, Ma. this 135 ft brigantine takes students on semesters at sea across the Pacific. I never had this option. Where can I sign up?

Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Kalani was down in Kealakekua Bay with his sailing canoe. He was bringing children from Kamehameha schools out for an educational trip to Ka'awaloa and the Captain Cook Monument.

First Humpback
