Kia orana everyone.

Teia te mataora nei au i to matou teret Iere’anga na runga i te moana. Inana’i, kua akaruke atu matou ia Rarotonga i te popongi. Kua mataora tikae au i ta matou au anga’anga tei rave atu i runga i te vaka. Mei te tamoumou te au taura e pera katoa te au kie o te vaka. Kua tere tikai to matou vaka i te akaruke anga ia Rarotonga kua tano te matangi, kua ua ririnui e pera kua akamata te tai i te ngaru. I teia ra te rekareka nei au ite na runga atu i to tatou vaka Marumaru Atua ite mata atu i to tatou iti tangata Kuki Airani no tuanga nui te ka rave iatu ki Hawai’i.

Kia orana everyone. I’m excited to be sailing on the ocean. Yesterday we departed from Rarotonga in the morning. I’m excited for everything that we’ve been doing on the vaka. We set all the ropes and sails and the vaka sailed swiftly when we left Rarotonga. The wind was right, but we had heavy rain and sea began to grow rough.

Today it’s a pleasure to be on our vaka, Marumaru Atua to represent our Cook Islands people for the festival being held in Hawai’i.
