> > I don't think that is so easy. I missed all of them. Besides, I don't think the Canary Islands are in the Pacific. I'm going to check my NGS atlas, but I think they are in the Atlantic near Africa, or maybe New Zealand. Maybe they were thinking of the Sandwich Islands which really are in the Pacific. I know I think about them a lot. > > Howard > > Uh, yeah. You're right. Canary Islands = Atlantic island chain owned by Spain. A popular holiday location, though I've never been there myself. > > winter"Pretty much everyone I know has, though"mute
In a previous life, I was a Cabin Boy on the Columbus expedition, and I clearly remember the boss's sailing direction which read, "South to Canary Islands, turn right." Howard
