Re: Geographic location

A classic geographic question. Politically and culturally the Canary
Islands are Spanish. Geographically they are Africa.
We do have categories for Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Pacific
Ocean. This finesses the issue somewhat. In the past we have had
Martin Sammtleben from Iceland (Atlantic Ocean) and Romuald Vareus
from Reunion (Indian Ocean), though neither participated this time
(Romauld may join late). We also always have a number of participants
from Hawaii (Pacific Ocean).
Maybe we should put Tenerife in the Atlantic Ocean category. The
place name will still say Spain, of course.
