Oceangoing vessel to arrive today
The Okeanos Marianas vessel that is traveling from Auckland, New Zealand is on track to arrive on Saipan today.
According to the latest information from Pete Perez, executive director of 500 Sails, the Okeanos Marianas vessel will be arriving at the Guma Sakman this morning between 7am and 7:30am.
By then the boat will have sailed a distance of 4,022 miles from New Zealand to Saipan in just 40 days.
The Guma Sakman (canoe house) is located on the Civic Center Beach in Susupe across Marianas High School.
It was earlier reported that the vessel would arrive last Saturday, but Emma Perez, managing director of Okeanos Sustainable Sea Transport Ltd., had said that the Okeanos Marianas would be arriving in canoe standard time so it requires flexibility.
Very wise Emma, we are so proud of the work you are doing.
