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:
Absolutely correct on all accounts, TDW. I keep my yacht here and regularly sail on the river and down to Fremantle and Rottnest Island. The Swan river downstream of Perth is quite a large expanse that is popular for yacht and dinghy racing and other water sports. Consistently throughout spring and summer we have a good seabreeze that is great for sailing. Those keen enough sail all year round
The only drawback is three low bridges at Fremantle. All but the smallest of sailing craft on the river have to lower their masts to get access to the ocean.
Over to you TDW.
Mark, that is isn't fair, I lived in the apartment building overlooking Kirribilli House which is just cropped out of that photo; so the location is immediately identifiable as Kurraba
Perving out our female Prime Minister? You must be a tad desperate, but she is not married....
When did you live there?
Kurraba Point is the other headland. But if you draw a line from the edge of the Opera House thru the line of the edge of Kirribbilli Point, noting the ferry wharf, you would note that Kurraba Point is too far forward to have been the photo location.
the actual location of the boat was on one of the mooring balls of the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron in the middle of Neutral Bay, a little further north than the line of Wudyong Point.
Was your apartment in one of these blocks? (Same photo location)
That was hard work!
Try this one. I don't think this thread has been here before. The correct name of the town/city will be what I am looking for. Lat / long will do as well.
Well its not Dubrovnik because the wall is not wide enough and architecture not right. Looks British, So I am thinking Malta on the other side of Valletta the area of Pieta, Floriana 35 53.6239 N 014 29.8419 E
All Greeks and Turks fly 27,000 national flags off their boats so it can be those 2 countires.
could be anywhere... Croatia, Spain... anywhere. I certainly havent been there.
Zadar it is. All yours Fallard
I spent two weeks cruising in Croatia and stopped by in Zadar several times. Croatia is a fantastic cruising area. Easy sailing, lots of beautiful Islands, lovely local towns and villages and great food.
Zadar looks like an interesting place, with quite a bit of history, including Julius Caesar, pirates, and so forth. Apparently it was one of a few walled ports in the Adriatic.
The next place to discover is on the other side of the world from Zadar. We're looking for the name of the port or the name of the bay in which the port is found (beyond the airport).
Yes, it's Port Allen, in Hanapepe Bay. All yours, Jon.
Port Allen doesn't look much like a cruising destination and has a commercial feel to it. It is a fuel terminal, but also is a base for catamaran tours of this end of Kauai, particularly the spectacular Na Pali coast. Similarly, the airport offers helicopter and plane tours. Just around the corner--about 5 nm away--is Waimea, where Captain Cook became the first European visitor to the Hawaiian islands, which he named the Sandwich islands after the acting First Lord of the Admiralty, in 1778.
Weird... Jon I have to switch browsers to see your picture...????
Anyhow, WAG for Lake Garda....
