It has been a while since I've seen a thread like this - the rules are simple: attempt to identify the location of the last posted picture in the thread. Once the picture poster confirms the first correct responder that person then gets to add a (sailing-related) picture to the thread and the game continues.
Since I'm no good at this type of guesswork my only chance of getting a picture into the thread is by starting it off with the following picture:
Haven't been there JR, but done several sails in the Bahamas back in the 80's.
Since some of the puzzle pics here have been at the far ends of the world, I will keep up the theme of remoteness with this island picture:
Tristan de Cunha was one of the places I played with. Even the second photo has a sign with the name, that island is almost on the same latitude, and right in front of our shore in Uruguay, more than 2000 nm away, in the mid of the south atlantic.
wow...
i think there is something in complete turmoil...
did not mattsplatt correctly answered marks location?
and he did post an image afterwards, right?
why do i not see an answer to the whereabouts of mattsplatts location?
and thank you seaduction for giving the location of mark's query... i was just about to ask it...
Wow - I leave the thread for a couple of days (travelled from the BVI back to Europe) and this is what happens. I'm a bit confused as well as to the state of the thread and think that donjuanluis has the last correct identification and should post a new picture for our edification.
Gees guys, its no problem.
Its just a game ok?
We worked it out.
I just didnt name the location as i thought i would use the clues again a
In a few months.
Donjuanluis it the winner (I think having the welcome to Tristan da Cunha sign in the photo may have helped). I totally messed up the photo posting as I had a Propofol IV earlier in the day while getting a spinal pain injection and it messes with the brain function a bit. (aside from being congenitally stupid) Nonetheless, DJL is up.
the problem with greece islands is that they all look pretty the same... and there are lots of it...
we once lost our rudder near skyors - i think - and this bay looks very familiar...
but i am for sure totally off...
I hear you. Have been a commercial fisherman and so, feel empathy for the men who must earn their living killing sea creatures. Many humans still need to harvest fish, etc. to live. It always seems to trump all other considerations. That's always the trade-off isn't it?: humans earning a living vs respecting other sentient beings on the planet. Octopi are such intelligent critters, it really is disturbing to consider killing them to make dinner. How many people does that snapshot bother? Not many I suspect. We are still in the primitive stages of "humanity" (whatever that is.)
I DO NOT wish to derail this thread so a move might be appropriate.
Nice picture, now I'm hungry. Is not Naxos, nor Crete.
Some people say the most important beach of the island is in the top 10 of best Europe beaches
1 km. long, white sand, cystal clear water, and a horse shoe shape of the bay.
what else, lots of young people crowded that beach.
Hieroglyphs begat Coptic, an Egyptian language but mostly using the Greek alphabet. Or so I've been told. I don't know why I thought that would be interesting...
Arrr, the rules, the rules ... Rhodes, maybe; all Colossus looking and whatnot.
