Won’t the blue line fall off of the turtle’s back?
Not if your fast.
What about my fast?
If you bring your fast with you then you don’t fall off the slow turtle.
Earth is neither flat nor round, it’s a torus

I have no idea about shipping routes or ships in general. But why the detour to Puerto Rico? Why that stupid ass tilt to the north when going to Africa? Why go around the eastern coast of Madagascar instead of along the western coast? Does this shit even make sense?!
I would suppose that it’s showing an actual trade route that was frequently taken. First stop Caribbean to pick up sugar or something, salt in West Africa, Eastern Coast of Madagascar perhaps has more developed trade than on the west coast. Not the shortest route being depicted here but perhaps the highest value trade route.
They wouldn’t unless they were picking up trade. All the maps showing the cape route show them sticking to the coast of Africa
