a very telling point here by brendan
so lets not mix oranges & apples any more
from where the sun now stands
i will no longer mention eez tripoints in the same breath as normal tripoints
real 12 mile limit babies only please

maybe a couple off the coasts of central america & the tips of arabia etc
but i think we can count them all on our fingers & without any need for our

i may still try to photograph the bahamas cuba usa eez tripoint upside down
at 35000 feet thru the cockpit roof of my favorite czechoslovakian mig
fighter jet
but it would just be for entertainment
i will not be serious about it
