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:
Hint time: If you have ever been in this harbor, you would say to yourself...why the f*** did they come all this way into this harbor when there are so many easier places to land? And, if you ever grew up in New England, you had a field trip here. I'm not sure they still do field trips here because the true history has come to light.
So, this one was a bit easy, shall we give thanks for the giving? Or, just another invasion by the Brits?
Oh for heavens sake .... I've been searching all over for Greek Temples or Greek columns in New England. Tried a bit of New England History. Homer the Wombat iz me ! Duh !!
That is Plymouth Rock. (or at least the monument that covers Plymouth Rock.)
There are a couple of waterfalls that look something like that on the north coast of Oz... I'm on a really slow connection and can't seem to find them. But, don't I recall from earlier in this thread that you sailed round that way? Or maybe I'm in a completely wrong place....
Maybe the perspective is deceiving and those cars aren't on the beach, but I lived is SoCal for 30 years and I can't think of anywhere in the L.A. area where you can park on the beach.
I does look like SoCal and it kind of looks familiar but And I don't remember LA County lifeguard huts being blue... but it's been a while. Malibu have blue huts but I don't know of a marina behind the beach. I'm guessing SoCal but either further north or further south... out of the L.A. jungle
I’ve picked up an end-tie in Alamitos Bay a few times, most years at Christmas used to walk round the Naples canals when they were all lit up and spent many an evening in the Belmont Brewing Company (and the Rusty Pelican before it closed). …. and I still didn’t recognize where it was. :hammer There used to be a friendly Irish bar just down PCH at Huntington Harbor but I can’t remember the name - I think I fried a few too many brain cells when I was young and foolish.
And I still can’t figure out where those cars are.
I found it! this is a picture of the Great Ocean Road. The part that jets over the water is called the sea cliff bridge. This picture was taken in the northern llawara region of New South Wales.
I don't know it as The Great Ocean Road which is in Victoria but you are essentially correct. However ... without making it too easy I want to know where the photo was taken from.
The place shares something with the Long Island snap. Not exactly but very similar.
the shot was taken from bald hill headland reserve near stanwell tops...
the whole area is called stanwell park and also famous for kite surfing and paragliding obviously...
if i am correct, i let rrslider have the honour - he did all the work and found the location... https://www.google.com/maps/place/L...2!3m1!1s0x6b12de2803b2e7b9:0xc21ef729a02d5000
