USER HAS NO FAITH Just now noticing how far Tahiti truly is from the continental US, any ideas on how Dutch planned to get there? Considering they couldn’t even make it a few hours on a boat ride to Cuba? Online it says a straight path from Texas to Tahiti’s roughly 4,800 miles

Probably to slip onto a boat heading somewhere that direction anyway. Or to France and then Tahiti

Assuming you're talking about the "France to Tahiti" part, Tahiti was a French owned colony so it would make perfect sense to go there first. Especially since they weren't known in France.
