Marion Lyman-Mersereau, who helped build the legendary voyaging vessel H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a, has spent decades honoring the man who lost his life trying to save her and their fellow crew members.<\/strong><\/p>\n

EDDIE WOULD GO.<\/p>\n

Anyone who\u2019s driven on Hawai\u2018i\u2019s roads has likely seen stickers with the three-word phrase on vehicles\u2019 backsides, or heard the expression \u2014 which encourages perseverance and courage in the face of danger \u2014 from time to time.<\/p>\n

The turn of phrase remains a popular saying, but for Marion Lyman-Mersereau, it\u2019s also a reminder of that fateful day nearly five decades ago when Hawai\u2018i lost a legend.<\/p>\n

Locals likely have heard an abbreviated version of the story before. In 1978, the double-hulled canoe H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a capsized between O\u2018ahu and Moloka\u2018i during a voyage to Tahiti. In an effort to save his crewmates \u2014 Lyman-Mersereau included \u2014 from hypothermia and exhaustion, Eddie Aikau, the North Shore\u2019s first-ever lifeguard, paddled away in search of help. Aid eventually came to the remaining 15 members aboard H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a, but tragically, Aikau was never seen again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do believe in my heart of hearts that it was Eddie\u2019s very determined intention to save us,\u201d Lyman-Mersereau says.<\/p>\n

To perpetuate his legacy, she penned the children\u2019s book Eddie Wen\u2019 Go: The Story of the Upside-Down Canoe <\/em>back in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I just tell the story factually, it ends with \u2018he paddled away and we never saw him again,\u2019\u201d she notes. \u201cBut my book tells it from the points of view of the animals \u2014 whale, dolphin, turtle, shark, \u2018iwa bird \u2014 witnessing the whole thing, so it would have an uplifting ending.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a story that came through me rather than from me.\u201d Her book has since been adapted into a play, and Lyman-Mersereau continues to share Aikau\u2019s story, just as she\u2019s been doing for the last 40-plus years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll go anywhere and speak to anyone who wants to hear me honor Eddie in any way I can,\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s why I wrote the book and adapted it into a play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyman-Mersereau\u2019s involvement with H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a started long before the 1978 voyage. In fact, she was one of the volunteers who helped build the famed vessel four years earlier in 1974. Her interest started during a conversation with historian and artist Herb K\u0101ne, who would regale her with tales about everything from a 15-hour yacht race from Lahaina to Honolulu to the inspiration behind his culturally inspired paintings.<\/p>\n

One story stuck out to her, though. It involved a group of people building a canoe meant to sail in traditional navigation fashion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was all ears, and asked how I could get involved,\u201d Lyman-Mersereau recalls.<\/p>\n

At the time, she was substitute teaching and coaching track and gymnastics at Punahou School and Kamehameha Schools. She wanted a full-time PE job with the state Department of Education, but nothing was available.<\/p>\n

\u201cHerb told me I could go help build (H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a),\u201d says Lyman-Mersereau, whose only experience with anything craftsman-related was fashioning a cutting board in shop class.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think I had any real skills to help out, but they put me to work,\u201d she says. \u201cI found that building something and actually seeing something take shape \u2014 as opposed to teaching or coaching, which is all I had ever done up to that point \u2014 was fascinating.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, it was all volunteer work. Lyman-Mersereau was turning down paid substitute teaching gigs (much to her mother\u2019s chagrin) and pouring everything she had into H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a. She was there whenever she could, early in the morning and throughout the day until she had to coach at Kamehameha, in the hopes of securing a spot on the maiden voyage.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the builders handed me a chunk of wood and he had penciled out the shape of a cleat, and he said, \u2018Go cut this out on the jigsaw machine.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Lyman-Mersereau informed him that she wasn\u2019t allowed to use those machines in her shop class, and the builder simply replied, \u201cYeah, watch your fingers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he was testing me,\u201d Lyman-Mersereau says. \u201cIs this girl really interested in helping out?\u201d<\/p>\n

In the end, she kept an eye on her fingers and cut the cleat. Mission accomplished. Still, her larger mission of breaking down gender stereotypes remained elusive.<\/p>\n

\u201cI took (H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a) all the way up to her launch (in 1976), but I couldn\u2019t touch the ropes, only men could. I couldn\u2019t be part of the ceremony, only men could,\u201d Lyman-Mersereau explains. \u201cAll along they had said, \u2018Oh, for sure, Marion, you\u2019ll be crew.\u2019 But after a while they started saying, \u2018If we take women\u2019 \u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, that \u2018if\u2019 got really loud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Disappointed, she joined the Peace Corps, requesting a location with warm weather, coconut trees and the ocean. She was thinking of Samoa or Micronesia and was thrilled to end up with a job helping adults teach PE in Palau.<\/p>\n

However, to her surprise, H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a sailed back into her life in 1978 when her brother, Dave \u201cKawika\u201d Lyman, was named captain of the vessel.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worry about nepotism because my brother was the captain, but the way they did the selection was very careful,\u201d notes Lyman-Mersereau, who adds that Polynesian Voyaging Society has come a long way, now boasting women captains and navigators and sometimes all-women crews.<\/p>\n

According to Lyman-Mersereau, there had been some trouble on the 1976 journey, so there were three criteria for crew members two years later: each had to take a Myers Briggs personality test to ensure compatibility with others (Lyman-Mersereau is an ENFP); each required proper canoe training; and each needed to be in good physical condition. Lyman-Mersereau\u2019s hardworking and team-oriented personality, combined with her time building the vessel and her prowess as a multi-sport athlete made her a winning candidate. She journeyed with H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a once more in 1980 and turned her attention back to education, focusing her area of study on middle school ethics. Rather than a philosophical approach to the topic, for 34 years, Lyman-Mersereau helped eighth graders at Punahou discover their personal values by practicing mindfulness.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got into the mindfulness movement early on,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

In 1999, she penned Character Education<\/em> books with Punahou chaplain John Heidel. In the series, the two honed in on a specific value for each month of the school year, and taught each through discussions, stories, cultural education, community service projects and other activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big buzzword in education today is SEL, social emotional learning, which essentially was the buzz word \u2018character education\u2019 back then,\u201d explains Lyman-Mersereau.<\/p>\n

This emphasis on mindfulness continues as Lyman-Mersereau enjoys retirement with her husband, Arthur \u201cArt\u201d Mersereau, a retired Mid-Pacific Institute physics teacher, as well as cheering on her sons, Kaiwi and Kaniela.<\/p>\n

Kaiwi, the eldest \u2014 named so because Lyman-Mersereau was h\u0101pai when she paddled the Moloka\u2018i Channel during the N\u0101 W\u0101hine O Ke Kai race in 1982, and won \u2014 is currently promoting his new movie, Brazil Disney\u2019s Star+ period drama series Americana<\/em>. He\u2019s also set to debut as Ghost in Netflix\u2019s action thriller Trigger Warning<\/em> starring Jessica Alba on June 21.<\/p>\n

Kaniela, meanwhile, is an educator at Punahou School and has sailed on various legs for H\u014dk\u016ble\u2018a.<\/p>\n

Lyman-Mersereau is also keeping busy with personal projects, including working on another play and continuing to teach mindfulness qi gong and yoga classes at N\u0101 K\u016bpuna Makamae Center. And in all she does, Lyman-Mersereau continues to keep mindfulness at the forefront and encourages everyone to do the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe brain is wired to think, and when we think, we\u2019re either in the past or the future; we\u2019re never in the present,\u201d she explains. \u201cWhen we feel and experience, we are present, but not when we\u2019re thinking. The practice is simple but not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
