MINES! (Yes, again)

Hi guys and gals,
A few of may remember I asked for a way to spot mines. The reason was (of course) a close encounter with one in AN52...
On the other hand, I couldn't quite beileve it: The water is 60+ meters deep and we are some 100km from shore and more than 130 from Hartlepool.
BUT YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT, SON!
Yes, there is a minefield there in GW: If you draw a circle 45kms with center at the lower left corner of AN52 - stay out of there!
There may be more, and it may be bigger - but there is no reason for you to go BOOM as well.

Currently sailing straight north, and it's been some time now since I saw one (external view from below the boat) - but I did sail right over one some time ago
