Episode 4 - Captain Aunofo Havea

In this episode, Captain Morgan Dawicki interviews Captain Aunofo Havea, the first commercially licensed female Captain in the Kingdom of Tonga. She runs the company Vaka Moana, a swimming with the whales eco-tourism company in Tonga. She has experience sailing a traditional vaka all over the world and was captain of an all-female crew on a traditional vaka – something that had never been done before. The documentary, The Ocean Knows No Borders, released to the public for free this year on the Northeast Maritime YouTube channel, covers Aunofo’s ability to break the glass ceilings in the maritime industry and in her culture.
