When they were in midocean where the seas of Oahu and those of Molokai met, they encountered the kaumuku,12 a regular breeze from the Cape of Kalaau (Ka Lae o Kalaau). After they had passed it they encountered the breeze from Kawela. This breeze was the kuehuehu. It was this breeze that bore them to a landing at Kekaa, on Maui. The men had expected to make a landing at that place, but Namakaokapaoo made a turn with the end (momoa)13 of the canoe, which sent it out oceanward. By taking this course they arrived at Keauhou, in Kona, Hawaii, where the king Namakaokalani was stopping.
