Yeah, the guy's point, that's sailing the Atlantic, is a transatlantic, open water crossing was possible 6,000 B.C. It was possible much earlier in my opinion. I still get a kick out of the Solutrean cave painting of a sailboat.If we're still talking about this fellow with the reed boat, there was no extended ice pack in 6,000 BC.

Hey, that's nothing ... F/M ended a sentence with a preposition about a month ago. I'm still reeling from that one!And, BTW Mr. English degree: "But how does the position of the ice edge effect the point I made?" ought to read "But how does the position of the ice edge Affect the point I made?" in proper English!
