While we await UP's next locale.

Thanks for the map.

I wouldn't let my geog. knowledge shake your confidence. I'm dyslexic as hell. When I sail I have to triple check shit all the time. Same thing when I used to fly a lot. In fact the guy that got me to stop talking about flying and actually get my ticket used to call me "Corrigan." Though I can honestly say once in the sky I never got turned around or lost.

I was looking around down there and doing some searches based on Shackleton (long time hero of mine.) I glanced at the islands I mentioned based on those searches, but like I said when I zoomed out they looked east of Easter. I find those low lats. confusing, don't know why? The numbers are the numbers, they don't lie.
