Speaking of a "reality series", The latest version of Survivor has the daughter of friends of mine. I went to school with them, Wayne and Linda, and to their wedding. She's the one with the tatoos, called Angie. Her real name is Cassandra. Her parents took her to Six Flags Great America, when she was 14 or 15, with her younger brother John (who was in the army in Iraq the last I heard).
She apparently had made plans with her boyfriend and he picked her up there and they split for the west coast. Her parents thought she had been kidnapped, or worse. For years, her parents didn't know if she was dead or alive. At some point she contacted an old friend of hers, who told her parents she was alive but did not know where.
She contacted her parents fairly recently, but her mother didn't even want to see her. Her dad did, so they had a reunion of sorts.
California to Hawaii?

fresh water
I seem to recall some transport liners invented a number of years ago. If you filled one side with milk, and crossed the continent, you could use the opposite side filler hatch to transport non potables. Wouldn't that be great to have a flexible vinyl liner in the ballast tank that you filled with clean water, and as it emptied, you could just open the filler on the transom and fill with sea water. Huh? What you think?
