No, I'm suggesting the coordinates be removed from the land<->sea 
messages (except, possibly, when in debug mode).  If players need this 
information it should be revealed in some more user-friendly way 
(something like the goto crosshead - when you select the entry the 
relevant tile is highlighted).
