I'm fascinated by the NWHINMN (now Papah?naumoku?kea Marine National Monument). I've loved islands my whole life. As a kid, my favorite show was Gilligan's Island. Corny, yes, but fueled the imagination of a young kid. (I'm the only one in my family who likes the Tom Hanks movie Castaway) lol. Love to read and reread Treasure Island, Call it Courage, Island of the Blue Dolphin. One item of interest for me is the proposed theory of ancient Polynesian seafarers sailing far enough east to reach South America and possibly populating the West from the south going northward, rather than everything hinging on the land-bridge theory. Thanks for posting on the South Atlantic islands! Great blog! I’m fascinated by the NWHINMN (now Papah?naumoku?kea Marine National Monument). I’ve loved islands my whole life.

I lived at Kaneohe a few years and Na Pali was closest I got to Nihoa, except once in awhile I'll have a strange dream I'm on an uninhabited island. We had a quick visit to Diego Garcia and just checked it out on Earth last night. Talk about private beaches and lagoon! I'll check out your links. Thanks alot. Great stuff!
