<div id="ygrps-yiv-665316107">Though I did doubt that the islands shown are Tierra<br/>
and Mar, I am considering switching to the idea that<br/>
those two islands shown are Tierra and Mar, as I have<br/>
yet to find other islands nearby.  It didn&#39;t seem<br/>
according to what I read in a Spanish encyclopedia<br/>
(which I did not photocopy for some odd reason)<br/>
according to area of the islands and direction, but I<br/>
might have translated wrong (West and East almost<br/>
looks same and , and . is switched between American<br/>
and Spanish).  I still have no real evidence either<br/>
way and the islands are shown as Moroccan in too many<br/>
maps to convince me beyond a shadow of a doubt that<br/>
they are.<br/>
When I said the border drawn in Penon de Velez may be<br/>
wrong, I was talking about the line I drew in a<br/>
picture.  The best map of the border I have seen is<br/>
the one just sent today, so my drawing the line was<br/>
only an educated guess.<br/>
I was the one who first mentioned that boundary as the<br/>
shortest and I have yet to find a smaller one as all<br/>
enclave ones are longer as far as I have found.  I did<br/>
not expect it to become the majority opinion but am<br/>
glad it is looked at that way by boundarypoint now.<br/>
