What a great inspiration! Unknown in advance, I had seen the Pacific Voyagers and seven boats at Monterey Bay, California!
August 13, 2011, late afternoon sun shone on the weekend Monterey beach. I saw some unusual boats, actually ancient looking boats, mostly like the boats made by Maori people from New Zealand, anchored to the beach in the bay.
I was so attracted by the beauty of those boats, and a couple of handsome sailors paddling people back and forth from the beach to the boats. I didn't want to miss this good opportunity, and started shooting...
A local lady chatted with me that these were Pacific Voyagers - a group of Pacific Islanders from Aotearoa (New Zealand), Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Kiribati, Vanuatu, and Tonga. They started in April of this year, passing the Marquesas, and Hawaii on their journey.
Also she said that I missed seeing the landing, which was a traditional American Indian ceremony for welcoming friends from afar. A great amount of people watching and it was a quite emotional time for everyone...

Wow!! I love this piece so much! This is one of the traditional activity styles of the native people of Melanesia, Polynesia, and Melindo (Melanesia-Indonesia) in West Papua (my homeland). My heart was overwhelmed the moment I read your description. Thank you, Zou, for sharing it with us. F/V and Pin it

I love the rich colors of blues in this image and the life of the sea.The sea is truly the home of heart and soul as exhibited here in this most beautiful painting. The vivid colors of the man with strong expression show his oneness with the sea as the sun streaks from the sky on his body.
