Even though you told us exactly where to look, I still couldn't find Lj. This is why I should never be the navigator.

Tsk! Remind me never to get in a boat with you!! Unless of course you happen to have a full complement of lieutenants to do your navigating for you :D

Check out Buzz Word Bay! Thing above it is shaped like Cape Cod, going wrong way. (Looks like an arm bent at the elblow.)

Two small islands nearby are floating in snob sound.

(Marhtha's Vineyard and Nantucket I think!)

The town at the shoulder blade, of Cape Cod is Buzzards Bay. That is also the name of the water behind it.

The pilgrams landed there first, but did not stay for some reason. They moved on to Plymouth. (They named it Plimouth, poor homesick things.)

Had they stayed they might have settled Provincetown. (In the real world that would be the fingertips of Cape Cod.)I am glad they didn't.

Impressive!! You can find your way around real places from a fictinal map! Clearly you are a much better navigator than esmerelda_t ;) I will get in a frigate with you any day! But it would still be nice to have the lieutenants along anyway...

I haven't heard of Provincetown before so I looked it up on wikipedia...

"In the mid-1970s members of the gay community began moving to Provincetown. In 1978 the Provincetown Business Guild (PBG) was formed to promote gay tourism. Today more than 200 businesses belong to the PBG and Provincetown is perhaps the best-known gay summer resort on the East Coast."

Perfect place for Archie to open another of his "Shake Bars". And toss his salad... ;)

*lol*
I don't do facebook and completely ignore everything that has anything to do with it, so I guess I will never see the world. :/
