ATEA A RANGI GUIDING THE WAY<br />
It was a lovely clear Sunday night so we headed out to the Maori star<br />
compass by the coast between Hastings and Napier which has many<br />
beautiful carvings. It has been in place since 2017 and was an idea from<br />
Te Matau-a Maui Voyaging Trust. It is a training tool used by celestial<br />
navigators who traditionally sailed throughout the Pacific Ocean. The rising<br />
and setting points of the celestial bodies are memorised by the navigators<br />
using the Pou (carved posts).<br />
