everyone shits themselves over St Brendan possibly sailing across the Atlantic circa 500 AD in a small curragh but somehow it is just vastly beyond the realm of possibility that hmmmm maybe others did this before on the Pacific????

UMM YEAH. Oh but that argument is that they stopped off at all the different islands so it wasn't actually long distance sailing, APPARENTLY.

I'm unsure when they first arrived in Hawaii, I was under the impression it was about 600 years ago but I actually have no idea and that might be totally wrong.
