What does the phrase “East is Least and West is Best” refer to?

 

Send your answers to george@bwsailing.com. A winner will be selected randomly from the correct answers.

 

Many thanks to everyone who sent in answers to last week’s question. The winner this week is Tino Lanza who emailed: “The origin of Mayday and similarly the other radio warnings come from the French language.  “M’aidez” meaning “help me” or come to my aid is the international distress call.  In English, we transliterated it to “mayday”, haha.”
