He never specified that it is the mainland shore he's looking for and his description of the fog (thick enough that your standard human cannot see where the nearest shore is) leads me to believe that its the island shore he's looking for as it wouldn't take particularly think fog to obscure the mainland from the island. | |

| Mar 8, 2016 at 15:26 | comment | added | brhans | @TimB - that wasn't specified in the original question. It's been substantially edited since then (and not by the OP, so someone has completely changed the context of the question without any confirmation from the OP that this reflects his requirements) | |
