Finally a home for the Superferry! It could come in at Isaac Hale Beach Park (might need to swim out to it or enterprising Punatics can offer an outrigger shuttle service). Then off to Hilo (and/or Kona or Kohala) we go!! Property values would hit the roof.
An alternative method of getting to Hilo would be to have everyone go into together and find the lava tube (or system) that leads from Puna to Hilo, and then install a sort of "mining train" to shuttle us to Hilo. It could also serve as a tourist attraction. Of course, it will be very important to make sure there is no actual lava in the lava tube, to avoid any discomfort to the passengers.
