Paul, there's no dispute regarding the influence of Hawaiians in the maps of the PNW, you just needed to learn there were deserts here so you didn't go 'round claiming there weren't...
And I'm not indifferent to the ocean, the ocean is way-cool, and I love, love, love, to sail. I just get bored with the beach. I'd have bought a sailboat and moved it there but was told by more than one skipper in Hilo that the locals striped the gear and cleaned out any boat in the basin that wasn't a live-a-board. Not stuff I considered even remotely prior to moving to a tropical island.
And, funny thing is Paul, the weather there sucks. It rains every day. If you were a road bike rider as am I, you'd know after a few months of living there that you can't do any serious miles because it's a sure thing you're going to get drenched at some point during your day and wish you'd stayed home and skipped the drama. What day does the weather report not call for windward and mauka showers? Yuk.
Paul, get help.
