Well chaps, just got back from 3 days sailing around the islands locally, and during that time there was a navigation warning read out, several times, by Valencia Coastguard Radio.
Someone had found a mine, and the warning went:
"A bouy has been established 3 cables South of Galley Head, with an exclusion zone of threequarters of a mile."
So there we have it.
Still using cables and fractional miles, not even decimal or metres.
