While she is sailing, you can track her location by clicking on

Note: When not on a sail, no tracking signal is posted.

Whether she is being crewed by Kailana Program teens, Maritime Careers Exploration mariners in training, or on a charter, from time to time the Captain will send a location signal. Follow MAKANI OLU and her crew on their journey throughout the day. And don’t forget to check Marimed Foundation or Maritime Careers Exploration on Facebook to see updated photos.
