Wonderful pictures! It looks as good as fresh modern film.
Are these boats used mainly for ceremonies, or also in everyday life?
Do you have a goto beer recipe you could share?
Thats the great thing about Panatomic-X, it lasts forever, it just slows down a little, I shot these at ASA 6 to 12. I don't know how it was stored all that time, it's from a bulk roll I purchased on eBay. I actually thought I used it all up but recently found a few more rolls in my freezer. I also have a roll from the late 1950's that is in tropical packaging, sealed in a lead container. I'll shoot that one sometime in the future.
The outrigger has been around for thousands of years, that's how the Polynesians traveled around the pacific. There's some amazing history of how they navigated between islands over great distances. These days they have clubs and races and use them for recreation and traditional ceremonies like this. Now they mostly use airplanes to travel between the islands and modern boats for fishing.
I created this Flickr group that has my Beerenol recipe and some tips.
