<div id="ygrps-yiv-863223659">yes that was amazingly good work by peter<br/>
& congrats to both of you<br/>
<br/>
also as i mentioned<br/>
there definitely is a nrcan topo of the area<br/>
date unknown<br/>
but the final word is likely to be found in the 1992 arbitral award <br/>
concerning the cafr maritime territorial dispute<br/>
<br/>
in the meantime however<br/>
some extra fuel<br/>
<br/>
the silhouette map at the upper right corner of<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://64.224.168.58">http://64.224.168.58</a><br/>
dated 2002<br/>
does indicate 2 extra little red dots off spm<br/>
one of them in the approximate location of the green islands<br/>
<br/>
these are most likely intentional rather than stray specks of color<br/>
because the second one is in the location of another group of <br/>
islets that are known to belong to france<br/>
called les veaux marins<br/>
<br/>
so the chances are looking extremely good already<br/>

&gt; Wow!  Good work Peter!<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; I think I will go down to the Topo map office here and see if <br/>
there is a sheet showing the area in detail.  Could you imagine if <br/>
we&#39;ve discovered a CAFR land boundary?! How exciting.  <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; By the way, I get a TV channel from St-Pierre on my satellite <br/>
system.  I love watching their news!  <br/>

&gt;   &gt; Here&#39;s a map showing Green Island and several others <br/>
near CAFR.  My <br/>
&gt;   quest is to find a chart that covers this area... my dream is that <br/>
&gt;   the boundary runs across one of the Islands.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt;   Well, the dream could be reality!<br/>
