None of you people has thought outside the box on how to do this in a 40' boat. Let me help you. You don't go from California due West.

From California, you head south and hug the coast until you reach Ecuador. Once you've topped your tanks of fuel, food and water you head West for the Galapagos (only about 750 miles).

From the Galapagos you head South West to Easter Island (about 1900 miles). This is the longest single distance.

From Easter Island you head due East to the Pitcairn islands (about 1000 miles).

From there, take your pick, you can island hop with no more than 800 miles between islands all the way to Hawaii.

You should be able to pull that off. You won't be limited by range of your vessel just TIME.

As geography is obviously not one of your strong points you might want to ask someone else to help with your voyage planning, Pitcairn is WEST of Easter Island and there is no fuel or stores there. Easter Island is not that good a stop off either.

Having been to both I am speaking (writing in this case) from experience
