If you knew how to insult, your statement would be correct. MANY people in older times believed the world was flat.

Right, because climate conditions are controled by society. Green movements are phony, and are only sucessful because the majority of society are such gullible morons. Your ancestors probably believed that the world was flat.

The cool thing is, if as a society, we keep working on melting that pesky polar ice cap, pretty soon there will be a Northwest Passage to the orient, and Henry’s life’s pursuit can be fulfilled.

I can’t think of a better tribute!

Sail up the river:

- it’s a tidal river, so you can go with the flow when the tide is up
- the put a little barge in front of the ship, and the rowed
- or, when possible, some man on land could tow the boad
- and when there’s wind, you can use that

could someone explain to me how you sail up the hudson river, or any river for that matter?

How much wind do you need to tack back and forth up a river – and what do you do when it isn’t windy? Just anchor up for a few days?
