On Saturday, February 12th HGCI students visited Mokauea fishing village to learn about its history and help out during their workday. They then went to the Marine Education Training Center of Honolulu Community College to help out at the Hokule'a drydock and prep the new escort boat for the next voyage. These visits tied into the movie presentation the previous night.  It was great to see people from the film in action.
