Posted by on 03/31 at 07:10 PM
Six sailors from Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Tahiti hope to revive the sailing legacy of the Austronesian people by making a grueling 16-month journey around the Pacific rim in an outrigger canoe. The journey is scheduled to begin this May and conclude in August 2006. "We're calling this adventure a journey of Pacific Renaissance, as Austronesian people already had a great sailing culture several thousands of years ago," said Chen Chin-kuo.
