In the Song, Ecstasy Made Easy, it refers to.
"At midnight sailing out of Perth
Getting under way we turned 'er westward bound
On that southern sea"
There are many Perths in the World, but I think this refers to the Capital of Western Australia, because of the mention of sailing west, which would take you to South Africa, and the Southern Sea, which is where you end up if you want to sail around the world as quickly as possible, but you certainly wouldn't sail west against the trade winds.
Keep Smiling Ron.
