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

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