Where do you find the Tropic of Cancer?

 

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 on the phrase “enough room to swing a cat.” The winner this week is Jonathan Keyes, Isle of Wight, England, who emailed: “In the old days, a cat was the whip used aboard sailing warships to discipline wayward sailors. In the confines of an old ship, when you had enough room to swing the cat, you could fairly apply the punishment.”
