What is more natural and energy efficient then a sailboat? I wish the only mode of transport between the Hawaiian Islands were sailboats. The energy and fuel needed for planes to take off and set down within 20 minute flights is an insult to the enviornment and to the culture of island people everywhere. In Hawaiian culture they say the sea does not separate people, it brings them together. We need to show the respect they have long known by sailing, not flying jets on inter-island hops.
