Go to www(.)mapquest(.)co(.)uk, click on maps, then latitude and longitude. Not entirely sure how it works, but I got somewhere off the coast of Africa. |

Yep, Heather, you are about right but actually about 7 degrees south of the Cape Verde( Porto Grande) isles, and a little more west. Doesn't seem to be any landfall thereabouts, though.........Bob |

Karen. The location you mention is in the mid Atlantic Ocean, roughly midway between Sierra Leone on the west coast of Africa and French Guiana on the east coast of South America. |
