thanxx & bravos martin
not just for being first but especially for catching sight of the
singularity of it all

inspired me to hunt down the original 1973 sutu territorial sea
agreement & found it explicitly ordered these markers for this
straight line boundary too

so i am encouraged to hope & even expect that the buoy at the
seaward end of the series will prove to be not just a border buoy
but a tripoint buoy as well
marking the meeting place of the seaward limits of georgia &
turkey with the landward limits of everyones land &or water
& will thus present another first & another singularity


cant help wondering tho why such an obviously enlightened
arrangement never got replicated elsewhere by the parties
who both had plenty of other coastal neighbors to promote it on
nor ever got emulated by any other pair of coastal neighbors in
the world
so many years & agreements later
