Coastlines, rivers and water are not really for newbies! There are a  
lot of traps to fall into and just to help osmrender and mapnik render  
things differently and have different time-delays until you can see  
the results!

Adjacent polygons should share one edge, although that it not possible  
with coastline which needs to be a single chain. I have sorted out  
some joins between bits if river and between river and coastline.

I have sorted some broken coastline including one long section that  
was the wrong way round to the north of Boston that wouldn't have  
helped.

I have connected the coastline is a few places where it was broken by  
bridges into two unconnected parts.

I have cleaned up some rivers and added a few new ones and added the  
'mystic' lakes.

Do be aware that the coastline viewer is complaining at present about  
a number of features are that probably ok because of the big error to  
the north. I think we now need to wait for the coastline viewer to get  
updated on monday at about 11:30UTC to see what else needs to be done.

I will have another go tomorrow.
