ok .dude .....if u find tell me
This is a good read for me as my husband is always telling me off for not knowing my oceans. I feel a little more educated thanks to this article.
I was under the impression that there are five oceans,the Arctic being one of them but you do not mention it and I never heard of the Caribbean Ocean. Where did I go wrong?
