<div id="ygrps-yiv-675082774">visited the dry flws point yesterday at perdido key beach<br/>
<br/>
btw here again just as with the texas semicardinal extremities it is <br/>
necessary to distinguish flws from flsw<br/>
<br/>
then photographed alflus 3nm due south or rather sw00d01m from dry flws<br/>
since this strange loxodrome tho apparently not picked up by usgs mapping <br/>
can be inferred from what bus&ss says about the alfl boundary on page 105<br/>
namely<br/>
in 1953 fl & al agreed to define alfl at the perdido mouth & extend it <br/>
seaward into the gulf of mexico as follows<br/>
<br/>
thru a control point at nlat 30d16m53s & wlong 87d31m06s alfl runs first due <br/>
south for 1000 feet & then inflects ever so slightly sw 00d01m00s as far as <br/>
the seaward limits of the states<br/>
<br/>
it isnt clear why this turnpoint was necessary from the already southeast <br/>
facing beach but perhaps it was because fl wanted to be able to press its <br/>
9nm claim to the full limit & even wrap its waters westward around the 3nm <br/>
claim of alabama to whatever extent possible<br/>
<br/>
usgs mapping doesnt indicate the turnpoint or the wraparound<br/>
as you can also see at topozone on the 100k scale<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also must report a complete failure to find or even rationalize both of the <br/>
mississippi federal waters tripoints lamsus & almsus owing to reasons <br/>
already given & additional complications of geography & remoteness<br/>
<br/>
