And all of Polynesia, it’s just really hard to see a bunch of islands.

Bonkers that people managed to navigate to those islands without GPS.

If you've not tried it out, Wade Davis tells this story best in The Wayfinders (2009 Massey Lectures). He was consulted on Moana, which did well, but not as well as his book.

Also, if you're a reader, Massey Lectures are a great set of readings.

I don't see it. I know Australia is just around the corner to the left, and Chile to the right, but based on all of my other maps, that's just empty ocean! Anything else is woke.

Adding /s because someone will take me seriously...
