Hi Felix,

From my meagre understanding of how the sea poly generation works, I
think you will always have issues if the coastline doesn't reach the
tile boundary (for non-islands).

Your example shows the coastline stopping short of the tile
boundary, so it's not going to work. I can't see how the sea poly
generation code can work around this - it's not psychic. 

Cheers,
