[@Ermine] West and East on a globe are all relative. For example, America is East of China, but we are called the West and they are called the Far East. My assumption is that we are on what's designated as the Western continent, and group 1 is on the Eastern or Central contenent. Perhaps there is another continent in between? I said it was probably closer to sail west to get to group 1 because there's an amount of land mass not shown in this map (it continues to the east some distance).
