He did. It's on the map :).
The locals don't like the name, and they call it Seaview!

The conditions over the last few days seem to have been particularly good.

Are you sure you're scales was adjusted properly for that 9.25lber :?: :D I think I would have gotten a second opinion...

Think I remember remember reading that piece somewhere too. A merchant ship ran aground here and the sailors seemed to leave their mark with the local female population - hence the name Bastardstown :roll:
