So I am near the point where I need to label the body of water to the east of Maucland. This is sort of an extension of what Robulous has labeled "SEA/OCEAN?" However, looking at the globe, I'm thinking it makes more sense to treat it as having more to do with my country and Meshon's. It's about 500 miles between our two nations, so my question for you is, what's an appropriate name for a 500-mile-wide strip of ocean between two roughly parallel coasts? Would it be a strait, a passage, or some other name I'm having trouble thinking of?
