Actually, where is Hecate? So far I only was able to find "Hecate Straits", is this somewhere there? I am afraid I'm not that good in Geography.

It`s apparently on Nootka island,which itself is seemingly separated from Vancouver island by what could be that Hecate straights.The Nootka
island is about 20 km wide and 30 km long.They say that the climate in the area of Vancouver is not as harsh as,say,in Quebec (where
it ressembles much the one of Moscow).An interesting and interactive way to study geography is the MS Fligh Simulator computer program
(I`ve got the 2002 version).It shows in a quite realistic manner how a place looks like: topography,vegetation,type of vegetation,seasonnal
changes in vegetation,seasons with snow in the proper areas,succession of day and night,most highways including secondary ones,middle size and
large cities.Upon confirmation that I have found the right Hecate straights,I`ll go see with the flight simulator how it looks like.
