“My wife woke me up. She was like, ‘Oh, you need to come outside and see this,’” Molokai resident Kenny Adachi said.
Several on the Friendly Isle were concerned the boat could pose a threat for the island’s fragile marine life.
“We’ll get defensive about it because there’s a lot of people here who still live off of the land, off of the ocean,” Adachi added.

Hawaii is offended by many things that can "affect the aina". Typical overreaction.
