The available space, compared with how much open sailing you want really
determines how many and how big the islands are. When we played at
Brickfest, we had 4 islands in the 32x32 or bigger real (plus several
ports at the edge of the game area).

   The only downside, IMHO, is that so many of our islands were,
   well, square.  Granted, this is hard to avoid, but I'm going
   to try and put together some more organic-shaped islands.

See the pictures on my web site for an idea of layout (and looks like I
need to go find the Boger's pictures....)

   Ack.  I think they posted the URL in .wamalug...but I
   don't remember ever seeing their pics.

Ah, figured out what was wrong, just had my URLs for the thumbnails
screwed up... All fixed, and while I was there, I fixed the links to
Richard Parsons's pages (actually they were fixed earlier, I just
finally got around to uploading the fixed pages).
