i dont think we have a good enough map yet to get a reliable
answer by just taking the turning point data & drawing the lines

but i did at least review the data once again & finally noticed that
the cafr line touches not just one but 2 of these little green islets
yikes
check it out
both points 4 & 5 make separate landfalls on different islets

one is on the enfant perdu as shown on your first attachment
& the other is the unnamed southwesternmost islet
possibly also shown there but not clearly identifiable as such

but again the angles of the turns & the shapes & positions of the
islets are such that it is almost inconceivable for there not to be
at least a tiny land boundary on at least one if not both of these
islets

so i would say your dream is only growing more real while
awaiting the topo confirmation

and a 1958 that at 1:80,000 shows Green Island/Ile Verte but
also several other wee islands. But, of course, no official
boundary. However, could we not take the turning point data and
try to draw the line?
