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:
Interesting. The barge looks like it’s flying the Dutch flag but the flag in the foreground looks like the Swiss flag. But it feels familiar like Holland or Germany. I wish I could read the writing
It is on a big river and on one of its tributary, near the sea, is situated a big Port.
Yes, it is Holland..... or Germany and the biggest clue is: It is a very famous place in what regards boats and particularly sailboats. I went there many times, for the boats.... and the beer
Looks like we're back in Kotor, Montenegro.. one of a couple of small islands right in the middle of the bay. Stunning scenery, but I wonder how the worshippers get there and where's the dock????
The dock is all the Island, You can see the pieces of stone to tie the boats. Tradition says that Island was made with rocks tossed by sailors:
According to legend, the islet was made over the centuries by the seamen who kept an ancient oath after finding the icon of Madonna and Child on the rock in the sea on July 22, 1452. Upon returning from each successful voyage, they laid a rock in the Bay. Over time, the islet gradually emerged from the sea. The custom of throwing rocks into the sea is alive even nowadays. Every year on the sunset of July 22, an event called fašinada, when local residents take their boats and throw rocks into the sea, widening the surface of the island, takes place.
I guess the answer is good enough. The Island is called Gospa od Skrpjela t(he one posted) and the other is Sveti Dorde.
Of course it is. I just re-read that and it makes no sense to me either.... and I wrote it. It's Saturday night and I'm at home with a cold and a large cognac, what do you expect??
Fire away.. of course it was Ucluelet.. The ship is nicely maintained and preserved, but not mobile. It's part of the accommodation and restaurants of a busy fishing lodge. The boats alongside are the ones that make the runs 20-30 miles offshore each morning around 5 am for a day of fishing. Mostly successful too.
It's the best provisioning spot in the Broken Group/Barkley Sound. Best breakfast at a civilized hour is in the local bowling alley! The Canadian Princess serves brekkie 4-6 am...
Mark, I presume you mean Crowdy Head ? but no its not.
Its a lovely spot but not often visited by yachts. While its a fine anchorage in a southerly not many folk running up the NSW coast want to stop if by some wondrous chance you have sou easter at your back. In a nor easter its a cow of a place. Nonetheless one of very few open roadstead anchorages on the NSW coast.
You'll have some time to ponder my pic ... We are landlocked this weekend so the Wombet desires to lunch, which presumably entails a drop or ten to go with the comestables .... oh lordy my poor ailing liver !!
