<br/><br/> The story of Pacific exploration seen through the eyes of a modern-day seagoing adventurer. It ranges from prehistoric times - when legend says the god Maui fished the North Island of New Zealand out of the sea - to the culmination of European exploration by Cook and concludes with the resurgence of voyaging by Pacific Islanders in their traditional craft.
