Punta Gorda River

The Punta Gorda River (Rio Punta Gorda) is a river in eastern Nicaragua. It originates in the Caribbean highland and flows east to enter the Caribbean Sea at Punta Gorda. Part of the river's drainage area is the protected Punta Gorda Natural Reserve.

The upper river valley is scheduled to be dammed to create the Atlanta reservoir for the Nicaraguan Canal and Development Project, the Nicaraguan Canal to link the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The canal will be built in the Punta Gorda valley.[1]

Hurricane Felix made landfall at Punta Gorda in 2007.

gollark: I started up a git server and moved potatOS to it because of the bad changes they badly made.
gollark: Maybe if ender modems were large multiblocks of some sort, or if they could only communicate with stuff at the same X/Y/Z coord across dimensions, or if they could only work with portals nearby or something, we would have CC networking which actually does routing.
gollark: Rednet has the extra thing of IDs, repeaters and its primitive DNS system.
