The Islands of the Cartesian Sea
Captain Cauchy has six sails on his ship. Each lets him travel from (x,y) to either (x+a, y+b) or (x-a, y-b) in a single day, where a and b are integers specific to the sail. Captain Cauchy never stops at the same island twice, except when he visits his island of origin.
