NAWILIWILI — An almost-all-Kaua‘i crew will be aboard Hokule‘a when the Polynesian Voyaging Society sailing canoe leaves Nawiliwili Small Boat Harbor for O‘ahu Friday night.
She won’t have Dennis Chun of Lihu‘e aboard, who captained the boat during last week’s run from O‘ahu to Kaua‘i. He has another obligation on Kaua‘i this weekend, he said.
Chun was shuffling his two-sided paper with names and numbers of potential crew members Wednesday at the harbor, trying to put together a crew for the return sail.
John Kruse, who was aboard Hokule‘a during her maiden voyage in 1976, will be captain for the return sail Friday, and also aboard will be Billy Richards, another veteran of several Hokule‘a voyages, said Chun.
