The Westward Road - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

There's a lot of talk in Elrond's council about taking the Westward Road (=sending the Ring over the Sea).

It is discarded, since it is regarded the one Sauron will surely be watching.

My question, however, is: is there any evidence that Sauron truly watched this way?

From where he even could have? Did he have a secret naval basis? If yes, where did he got the troops there were? Sauron had no fortresses near the Western shores, except Angmar, which was forsken, or at least didn't serve as a fort of a real army.

Further speculation: what if the Ring had been sent westward? What would have happened?

Any thoughts on the Westward Road are welcome on this thread.
