Kāne Hoalani

In Hawaiian mythology, Kāne Hoalani fathered Kamohoaliʻi, Pele (whom he exiled to Hawaiʻi), Kapo, Namaka and Hiʻiaka by Haumea. He created the sky, earth and upper heaven and gave Kumu-Honua the garden. He owned a tiny seashell that, when placed on the ocean's waves, turned into a huge sailboat. The master of this magic sailing vessel had merely to state the destination and the boat transported him there. * Kāne Hoalani lends his name to my little blue boat and inspires my little blue blog.
