&gt; aha class e<br/>
&gt; very nice<br/>
&gt; & so will you actually be trying for your point in this case<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; as for example by perhaps locating or guesstimating it visually <br/>

 </span></blockquote>several of these pix do look promising <br/>
but i just figured out that the tripoint would not be nearly as <br/>
visible from eilat israel as it would be from taba egypt<br/>
<br/>
the maritime sector of iljo has already been fully agreed & plotted <br/>
on the basis of equidistance <br/>
<br/>
& the maritime sector of egil has not yet been agreed or plotted <br/>
but can be hypothetically estimated <br/>
also on the basis of equidistance<br/>
<br/>
in fact it appears the makers of the iljo boundary may have <br/>
already computed its terminal point to coincide with the <br/>
hypothetical location of the egiljo equidistance tripoint<br/>
<br/>
this iljo terminal point is specified in the iljo treaty as <br/>

the following pic is said to show an egyptian border guard <br/>
standing where egil hits the beach near taba<br/>

<br/>
tho not visible<br/>
there may still be a 1912 marker there near the point of ras taba <br/>
per ibs number 46<br/>
<br/>
in the pic<br/>
presumably egypt is at right & israel at left<br/>
with jordan visible thru the haze on the opposite coast<br/>
<br/>
thus the hypothetical egiljo tripoint is likely in frame <br/>
perpendicular to the coast & halfway across the gulf<br/>
at a distance of about 5km<br/>
<br/>
similarly<br/>
