Thinking about sailing to Hawaii??? Is Hawaii cruiser friendly?

This is a video Imade for someone that was asking me about what it was like living on a sailboat in Hawaii. As a 10yr Maui resident I flew to San Diego to buy a Catalina 27 which I then sailed back to Maui and sailed the islands for 4 years. 14yr Hawaii Resident. 9 yrs boating in Hawaii. Since this topic comes up often, I thought someone might find this info helpful. Link to DLNR rules below: https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dobor/rules/
