May is Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month – a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States. New Bedfords longtime cultural ties with the Pacific Islands make us cousins of sorts. This week we salute a legendary Hawaiian canoe that will embark on a global trek. A modern version of an ancient sailing vessel will leave Hawaii next week on its longest ocean voyage. Relying on wind and stars to guide it, the Hokulea will chase the horizon for 47,000 miles, dropping anchor at 85 ports on six continents.
