I should follow up on the reasons why I added these bays as a closed way.

First the bay is the whole body of water, not just some point in the middle.
Second, using a way allows renderers to for instance render names for
large bays at low zooms, and not render names for small bays untill
very high zooms.
Third, it allows for someone to use the database to ask "Am I in ... Bay?"
