The Hokulea , a reproduction of a Polynesian voyaging canoe, is on its second navigation from Hawaii to Tahiti .

The crew is 12 hours out of port when they hit heavy weather.

Heavy seas pitch their 60 foot vessel and they capsize.

Crewman Eddie iCal is a champion big wave surfer and legendary lifeguard known for pulling distressed surfers out of 30 foot waves and a surfboard survived.

The roughly 25,000 Pacific islands consist mostly of volcanic high islands and low coral atolls.

Hawaii in particular, standing nearly in the center of the Pacific and with excellent natural harbors, would become at various times a major supply station for shipping.

But despite clustering together in chains and archipelagos, the land area of these islands is very small, tiny in many cases.
