Articulate: Magellan Strait

Alex and I trounced Div and Luke at Articulate twice last night.

Did you notice the mention of Francis Drake in the kwout above? He was one of the people the boys could not describe, I'll be checking my own possible memories about him another time. For now, an image of the Portuguese explorer after whom the strait is named:
