PS: saying "Abrolhos Islands" doesn't narrow it down much. They are all
over the place.

The Portuguese were master mariners in the days of disovery. "Abrolhos"
is simply a contraction of "Open your eyes!" There must have been many
instances when that was precisely what the Captain yelled at the
lookout just before they struck...along with a string of things one
can't say here.
