The Strait of Gibraltar latitude is 35.94N
Jockeys Ridge on NC Outer Banks is Latitude 35.96N
So, if you stand on Jockeys Ridge and look east you're staring down the barrel of the Mediterranean. When we were just outside Charleston, SC we were off Africa.
If you stand in Montreal and look due east, you're looking at Milan, Venice, Bourdeaux
Paris would be on the north shore of Lake Superior
It's a fun meme
