Landing point
Of course, the main point is TO LAND, but where do we -ideally- want the boat to land? Generally, nowhere near big and busy harbours. The nearest land on the American continent is an island called Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon St Pierre and Miquelon, where is a practically located, small and beautiful city [St. John's] (https://goo.gl/maps/nPdZ3jxACnS2). Straight travel distance there is 3500 km.
