Columbus set sail from Europe ... which is north of the equator ...
and I'm pretty sure he never crossed it.
If you start on the equator and travel straight north, let's say, then yourlatitude begins at zero, gets higher and higher as you get farther fromthe equator, and reaches 90 degrees when you get to the north pole.If you just sail on over the top and keep going, down the other side, thenyou start getting closer to the equator on the other side, and your latitude isdecreasing now. 90 degrees was the farthest you could get from the equator.
you cant sail a boat to the north pole because that would just be stupid. you would have to bring lots of food and it would be cold. also there is lots of things jin your way and chances are you dont even now how to sail a boat.
South America
In the days of sail, ships could find themselves becalmed in the doldrums. The doldrums is a low-pressure area around the equator where the prevailing winds are calm.
The geographical region known as Central America connects the continent of North America to the continent of South America. Central America is comprised of seven countries: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama.

South America
It is the North Atlantic Ocean, and the South Atlantic Ocean if you sail to the very south of South America.
North America
yes :)
North, South, and West.
the north pole to the south pole?
the river runs south to north, so you would be sailing against the current if you attempted to sail straight up form the south.
That depends on where you are now. If you're anywhere in the northern hemisphere, you should walk, drive, sail, or fly south. If you're in the southern hemisphere, then you must travel toward the north. In both cases, if you can but persevere, and keep your head while those around you are losing their's and blaming it on you, you'll reach the equator.

Amundsen set sail in the Fram for the North Pole in 1910, and while at sea, altered his destination to the South Pole.
