It seems we have relinquished the rule that countries needs to be connected by a straight geodetic line NOT passing through another country. Going by boat seems to be ok.

"It seems we have relinquished the rule that countries needs to be connected by a straight geodetic line NOT passing through another country. Going by boat seems to be ok." ... NumisEd
... Yes, going across water is permitted, according to the rules ... ref.: RULE #2
...Spain to Italy ...yup... ...Italy to Morocco ... yup. straight shots by boat ... ... Sousse, Tunisia to Alexandria, Egypt ...straight line (by boat) ... ... northern tip of southeastern El Horra province, Morroco, to Bizerte, Tunisia ... straight line by boat (skirting the Algerian coast, but not touching land...) ...yes, traveling over water is permitted, as long as you do not cross a land mass of another country ...
..the last 4 posts are within parameters ...
I think we're ok here NumisEd ...

I apologize for breaking the rule yesterday. But it this case, it may be possible to travel in a straight line from Morocco to the Galite Islands off the coast of Tunisia. Not sure if you'll collide with the coast of Algeria at Raïs Hamidou - it's a tight squeeze.
