Hi Martin and Dimitris,

Sounds little risky/arbitrary and, at the end bringing some unexpected
situation to change the bathy with obcs ; I would have favour a check & stop,
that you can disable (if, e.g., lab-sea is happy with a non
strait coasline).
I would propose (if you continue in this way) to tart a list of thing 
to check (tracer initial condition, divergence of the initial flow before a
nd after the bathy-changes...) and then we can figure out where this piece 
of obcs should go.
