Washington specified its northern boundary running westward along the Canadian<br/>
boundary to the Pacific.  Therefore, wouldn&#39;t the state&#39;s waters extend along<br/>
and to the wet segment of the CAUS boundary that runs from Point Roberts to the<br/>
Pacific Ocean?  That 142-mile segment through the Strait of Georgia, the Haro<br/>
Strait, and the Strait of Juan de Fuca had already been arbitrated in 1872 by<br/>
Emperor William I of Germany.  If these internal waters are indeed territorial<br/>
to the State of Washington, then the state is a contiguous whole, including<br/>
Point Roberts.<br/>
