Actually, the Hood Canal is neither a canal nor a river; simply a narrow saltwater inlet from the Juan de Fuca and Georgia staits. http://www.ohwy.com/wa/h/hoodcana.htm [Sep 08 04 1:06 PM] robboy writes: It was named Hood in honor of Lord Hood, of the English Admiralty, by George Vancouver back in the late 18th century. Now, I'm not saying they had a thing going on, but Vancouver also named Mt Hood and Hood River in Oregon after the old boy. Sep 07 04, 10:20 PM

Sorry, robboy, I meant to put "hee-hee" in that answer. It was meant to be a teensy joke. I wasn't meaning you were being pedantic. Sep 09 04, 5:54 PM
