I was just playing with Google Maps on my G1, and I asked for directions from my present location (Austin, TX) to my brother’s house in Honolulu. Google Maps came back with a route which has a distance of 5185.1 miles and an estimated drive of 376 hours and 54 minutes. I scrolled through the directions to see how it figured to span the ocean, and it recommends kayaking across the Pacific from Seattle:

• Turn left to stay on NE Northlake Way. 1.0 mi
• Kayak across the Pacific Ocean Entering Hawaii 2765.4 mi
• Slight right at Turtle Bay Hilton .1 mi

I better start now if I want to make it by Xmas!
