<div id="ygrps-yiv-355564912">another fantastic job  peter<br/>
<br/>
i am impressed & excited<br/>
<br/>
btw<br/>
i find attachments & files like this hard to receive & read with my<br/>
primitive equipment<br/>
but it is possible i got the whole thing anyway<br/>
even while much of it did appear as blank squares on my screen<br/>
<br/>
at least it got me to thinking tho<br/>
with that soft landing in amsterdam you are offering<br/>
it might prove so irresistible & low risk for me<br/>
maybe i will join in this spree after all<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also<br/>
about your earlier list of the 43 continental european tps<br/>
on calmer reflection i think it is probably perfect as is<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
in addition i just received a copy of jrv prescotts 1985 book entitled<br/>
the maritime political boundaries of the world<br/>
& it is not only quite a shocker for what it does report as of that date<br/>
but also clearly only a hint of things to come<br/>
with regard to additional tps situated in offshore waters<br/>
both already existing ones that are nevertheless not often shown on maps<br/>
& also the probable or potential ones that are even still taking shape<br/>
<br/>
in the case of denmark for example<br/>
  i will report immediately<br/>
    since i know jesper was interested in this too<br/>
prescott shows a maritime  tp denmark norway united kingdom  or dkgbno<br/>
at north lat 56d 05m 12s  &  east long 03d 15m 00s<br/>
& likewise a maritime  tp denmark germany united kingdom  or dedkgb<br/>
at north lat 55d 55m 09s 40h  &  east long 03d 22m 13s<br/>
or both a bit less than 300 nautical miles west of the danish west coast<br/>
both legal continental shelf tps dating back to 1972 or earlier<br/>
<br/>
he also mentions a maritime  tp denmark norway sweden  or dknose<br/>
without giving the geocoordinates<br/>
dating from 1965<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
still more intriguingly tho<br/>
he indicates that east germany & sweden settled their maritime boundary<br/>
between rugen & the swedish coast in 1978 in such a way as to anticipate a<br/>
pair of twin maritime  tps denmark germany sweden<br/>
a potential westerly one  or dedksew  a few miles southeast of sjaelland<br/>
& a potential easterly one  or dedksee  a few miles west of bornholm<br/>
both of which may actually already exist now also<br/>
i dont know<br/>
<br/>
he also indicates<br/>
a sixth potential or actual danish tripoint may occur just southwest of<br/>
bornholm<br/>
tp denmark germany poland  or dedkpl<br/>
<br/>
& a seventh may lie just east of bornholm<br/>
tp denmark poland sweden  or dkplse<br/>
<br/>
i hope you guys are satisfied now<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also wonderful to notice in this scheme<br/>
as you have probably already foreseen too<br/>
bornholm appears not just as an island  but actually<br/>
along with its surrounding waters<br/>
as an exclave of denmark in the strict sense of that term<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
i will report more on the maritimes when i can<br/>
but i already see that this topic is an incredibly complicated & shifty one<br/>
& likely a real hurdle en route to a comprehensive worldwide list of the tps<br/>
<br/>
