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:
Mark - it can't be in Australia. We all know things there are upside-down and the water looks like it is in the correct quadrant of the picture (but the vegetation certainly looks like down-under flora)
This looks like Mediterranean type of setting even if those threes seam somewhat wrong. That should be the same kind of climate but Australia is so big I have not a clue of where to find the climate that corresponds to that setting so....have you any clues about that? What part of Australian is that?
Pure guesswork on my part .... Lizard Island , Great Barrier Reef.
was when James Cook and his team sailed the whole length of the reef from May to Aug 1770. When the ship struck Endeavour Reef, north of Cape Tribulation, and they were forced to repair their ship for six weeks that they were able to observe the Great Barrier Reef. But Cook and his team were not able to explore the reef and scientists were only able to know that the reef was of great length and size. After repairing the ship, Cook tried to make way to the open sea through the Lizard Island. When he and his botanist Joseph Banks climbed the highest point of island, they were able to see the passage in the reef, through which there ship made way. This is known as the 'Cook's passage'.
Actually, that's not the highest vantage point by far. The middle of the island is much higher. I just found another photo. Mark's photo is from the N end of the island, looking SW along the western beach.
Right you are.. The narrows fills and drains the long, vaguely 'K' shaped body of water in the center of the pic below, the narrows are near the top connected to Jervis inlet.
You can see the lat/long on the screen dump if you want a closer look. This is a fabulous place to hang out and watch these kayakers, esp during a summer evening with the low sun and good light. Really nice walk, about 45 minutes from Egmont where that suicidal fellow was launching off the pier. A clean warm lake for a quick dip on the way back. The shots here were taken on the flood, the optimum conditions, the spoil is at the opposite end of the narrows on the ebb and isn't quite as accessible.
Your turn, Fallard...
