Zee; I've spent hours looking for the Hawaiian word for turtle. Honu. Since it is a noun, I assume this is the feminine form. Any idea what the masculine form is?
Sorry Pete, I only know the feminine form.
Sea turtles are only slow on land, I think you should name your boat HONU. You are already a great traveler and you returned home. The name is auspicous in that it was given based on a misperception!
I wanted to name my cat Honu but my friends said I shouldnt name a boat "turtle" unless its a slow one. But I might just take your advice and name my new cat Honu
A word of advice on naming your cat: never name ANYTHING that is 8 feet wide after your wife or girlfriend! See attachment for clarification...
LOL thats funny!
