1st: You accuse me of using a map that doesnt belong to Tasmania.
2nd: I change the orientation closer to the one you used without all the lines, and you are still faulting me for including lines (including latitudes that are uniquely Tasmania’s!).
Then you criticize an island hopping strategy - - which is the ONLY way 1 or more canoes traveling 3.5 mph is going to allow an ambitious aborigine to find the source of smoke trails on the edge of the world (Tasmania).
The longest island hop of about 21 miles could easily be done in a day. And using the leeward side of these islands makes travel less grim.
Some of the islands do seem quite empty - - but their key virtue is they usually dont sink and they have plenty of space for storing provisions for the next leg towards Tasmania.
