Bruce Blakenfield began his association with Polynesian Voyaging Society in 1977 by volunteering for the maintenance of Hokule’a while training for crew on day and night sails. In 1990, he began formal navigation training with Nainoa Thompson and Mau Plailug, which included a nine-day sail on Hokule’a out of sight of land in 1991.
In 2007, on Ku Holo Mau, the voyage to Satawal, Bruce was captain and navigator of Hokule‘a from Hawa’i to Pohnpei. He rejoined the crew for the sail from Chuuk to Satawal, where he was one of five Hawaiians inducted into pwo by Mau Piailug.
