Now if you wanted to try to argue that Cape Cod was part of the islands,
you'd be....right since most of Cape Cod (e.g. everything east of the
Cape Cod canal) is an island, since it is surrounded by water and you
can sail around it completely in a boat.

Not quite. The Cape Code Canal navigation regulations require sailboats to
transit the canal under auxilliary power (i.e. motor). So, while you *can*
motor around it in a boat, you can't sail around it :-)
