Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Had a lot of fun at Seal Beach. It's on the Pacific Ocean so the water is west of there, right? Wrong! It's actually south and if you're in the right place it's somewhat east of due south. It's fun living on a ball, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I moved to CA, I lived near Beach Blvd, a N-S street. And, as Forty mentioned, the Pacific was due south!. Well, growing up in the midwest, the Pacific was WEST! It took me a few weeks to get oriented in the area. I knew the major streets, but I also "knew" the Pacific was west, so for quite awhile, I would be going 90 degrees off kilter until I saw a major street that I recognized.

watab kid Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 i can never relate to the globe , generally my directions are relevant to my location , amazing to me how often im incorrect - glad my wife is the navigator in the family , more than once saved me from traversing to foreign country in the boat - granted it was canada and probably a slap on the wrist ...............

Sedalia Dave Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 What I thought was really interesting is the point furthermost East and the place furthermost West are only about 70 miles apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
