Limu Lipoa
On Haʻinakolo’s perilous journey back home to Hawaiʻi from Kuaihelani, she and her son Leimakani endured all the scary things imaginable during open ocean travel. Keaulawe, the grandfather current, kept Kanaloa’s deadly tentacles at bay and, in the area just around Haʻinakolo’s canoe, calmed the radical ocean swells and violent winds unleashed by Keaumiki and Keaukā. Eventually, though, the storm got to them again, they lost their canoe, and Haʻinakolo found herself in the ocean having to put Leimakani on her back. She knew she could only swim so long supporting him, but one thing that helped keep them afloat was a “pūnonohu” (mass) of limu lipoa and limu kala that gathered underneath them. Buoyed by the limu, warmed by the aku and ʻōpelu that schooled around them, shielded from the harsh rays of the sun by Mailelauliʻi in her kahaʻea cloud form, and pulled along on Keaulawe’s “steamship” of a current, Haʻinakolo and Leimakani were sheparded by these ʻaumākua all the way to the shores of Keōlewa (aka Kamāwaelualani, aka Kauaʻi). It was several days and nights of floating in the sea—an experience few folks today can even fathom—and without the aid of these ʻaumākua, Haʻinakolo and Leimakani surely would have perished. Lipoa (Dictyopteris plagiogramma) is a Hawaiian favorite, famous for its strong scent and delicious flavor. Once abundant on the shores of places like Waikīkī and Kīhei, lipoa is now becoming harder to find. On Molokai, collecting is best in the summer months when it grows long and luscious.
