I wonder what jbuck would have to say about that.
Nothing. It looks like Hondo course-corrected with the Madagascar coin.

OK, so if I'm doing this correctly, Mauritania is on the west coast of Africa, which means I can cross over the Atlantic Ocean in a straight line all the way to Mexico, right?

If so, here's Mauritania to Mexico - 2008 Mexican One Kilo (32.15 Troy Ounce) Silver $100 Calendario Azteca:

No problem, Barry. Mauritania to Mexico is doable - although a tight squeeze between Florida and the Bahamas. Just remember that it has to be a straight line on a globe, not a map. Most of us use Google Maps to check the paths.

Sorry, as much as it pains me to say this, but I have to veto that one.

There is no way to successfully navigate there between the Florida Keys and the Bahamas in a straight line.

We are still in Mauritania.

Hondo, assuming you mean Mauritania (not Mauritius) to Western Africa, you are going back to the same country you came from!

Ooops - sorry about that. It was a case of 1:30 AM cranial flatulence. I meant to say Mauritania but my fingers typed Mauritius.

Western Sahara is distinct from Mauritania, as shown on Google Maps.

You were not the only one.

I had to dust off the cork board for this one. Good thing I keep an ample supply of index cards, push-pins, and yarn.
