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:
Knothead - no, not (yet). But you are correct in that the picture was taken on an uninhabited island looking approximately west-northwest toward a larger inhabited island just barely visible in the top right of the picture.
The Galapagos are a bit closer, but still over 2000 miles away, so it isn't quite it. The temperatures are a lot warmer than in the Hebrides or Faroes and the sparse vegation is due to being on the leeward side of the island.
The whole island is a national park / nature preserve and there are some rare plants on the island. The bay in the picture is the only anchorage on the island and is quite protected.
It's Ile Fourchue, NW of St. Barts, as T37SOLARE indicated. It looks a lot greener in this picture than I remember. St. Martin is the inhabited island to the north.
Maybe I can purpose some rules?: The one that win and discover the place will have to continue the game posting another place to discover.
Leads should be provided related to guesses, right or wrong. Each post deserves an answer from the one that is leading the game...and that is T37 Solare now.
It is very funny because I was anchored on that Island late September but on the other side and I did not had time to make a complete tour so I did not know the town
Tell me, do you know the place?, if so I have some questions for you.
We were only there for a day while we were on the Royal Clipper sailing from Venice to Rome, so I really cant say much about it other than the great seafood
Looks very much like tidal waters - so the Caribbean and the Med would be out.
