    20,000 nautical miles is well over half of the Earth’s circumference. Where was east and west mixed up in the post? This seems like a “three rights are a left” situation to me.

      If you go that way OK but it’s a weird way of saying it.

      But Cape Verde is definitely to the West of Africa, not East.

        Yeah, you’re right on that one. I’ve corrected it now.

        I kept checking all the other mentions of East and West but didn’t spot that one.
