Yesterday I wrote of Zac Sunderland's amazing adventure of sailing around the world alone as a seventeen year old boy. He sailed through five seas on that journey. Wow! All but two! Right? Wrong! We have always thought of there being seven seas. In fact they have been named at times: Indian, Black, Caspian, Adriatic, Persian, Mediterranean, and Red. You recognized one is called an "ocean" and another a "gulf". They are thought to be salty. The Sea of Galilee is fresh, and is what we call a lake. Some of the Great Lakes are often called seas. Bottom line is that there is no clearly defined designations for seas. Technically, the Gulf of Mexico is a sea. In fact, there are now cataloged more than fifty seas around the world!
So, you see, to see all the seas would be a challenge to see. I see a sea most every day. As far as I can see there is nothing but sea. Comprende? Si!
