    Good idea.... and with all the "wasted" space (assuming he is not planning to put anything else) for the ocean, it would be a perfect place to add an inset close up view....

    I love that idea, that's a great plan for future maps that I do with a coastal village. Unfortunately, I made the rookie mistake of not saving a new copy when I shrunk the map to a reasonable size, so I don't have the higher resolution image anymore to make a zoomed in view. What an excellent thought, however!
