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 Gordon Couture, Lake St. Clair, Michigan,. who emailed: “The prime meridian is an imaginary line that runs north-south between earth’s geographic poles.  It is the location of 0° longitude that separates the eastern and western hemispheres (and E-W longitude coordinates).  The line passes through Greenwich, England as well as several other countries and a lot of ocean.  It is geographically opposite the international date line, which is 180° longitude, the maximum E-W coordinate.”
