I don't know Oahu, so I can't relate. I'll take you at your word. I'll
look it up on Google Earth even.
I'd like to live in Kaupo on Maui. Nothing for over an hour in either
direction.

My Maui buddy had maps charting his trip with a friend in 2 canoes all the
way around Maui. Took 9 days, I think.
Maybe 12. I don't know for sure. I smoked some pakalolo with him the night
he told me the tale.
