Thank you for the recommendation. There’s also the excellent movie Kon Tiki (2017) about the famous Norwegian team that replicated the “backwards” journey from South America to Polynesia following WWII.
I have just happened to read it. While I find the technical parts of navigation of Nainoa Thompson and Mau Piailug highly interesting, large parts of the book are concerned with Hawaiian or Polynesian identity. Would you have a suggestion for a much more technical oriented book on Polynesian (or Micronesian) navigation? Thanks!
