    Wip Feb / Mar '18 Lite Challenge: Carte exacte et fidele de l'isle d'Anoucoubao

    Hi all,
    So I am jumping in too, the more the merrier I will try to represent an old style (16th-17th century) map of the island of Anoucoubao, maybe a tautology because, according to an old Caribean-French dictionary (http://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/.../010017260.pdf anoucoůcou means "big monkey" and oůbao is an island. The two words were possibly contracted by explorers when they discovered the island or later through use or, to paraphrase Terry Pratchett, maybe that Anoucoubao simply means "Your Finger You Fool" in the natives language...
    Anyway, first step, the hatches. I didn't want something too mechanical so I spent two hours on this, lol :

    The "perspective" looking coast is a sketch, I have an other idea in mind but I have to test if it fits with the shape.
    Question : Am I allowed to (re)move the nasty little lakes near the coast, please ?

    Welcome to the Challenge Tenia. Yes, you can remove the little lakes, just keep the bigger one in the middle.

    Thanks all and ChickPea !
    @Azélor : Yes, akward but intended, I found this term here : http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8469586r/f1.item, I love these outdated expressions Anyway, now that the title is too long (lol) may I bother an admin again (last time I hope !) to delete "selon les" from the title ? Sorry again !
