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:
The large building certainly looks like the Frenchman's Reef Hotel, so the bay would be cruz bay or long bay. Its been many years since I stayed at that hotel and sailed out of St. Thomas Harbour.
Seaduction and Zanshin are in the right neighborhood, but haven't identified the bay yet. FWIW, Frenchman's Reef hotel is on Morningstar Bay, St Thomas. Cruz Bay in on St John and the Long Bay I know in the general area is on Tortola.
Thank You, I stand corrected, but still prone to errors....I'll blame that on meds, and old age
So, that building on the right edge of the photo isn't the frenchmans reef hotel?
Lindbergh Bay it is. Not a particularly popular and recognizable anchorage in the Virgins for those on a charter, but a possible convenient stop enroute to/from the Spanish Virgins.
I had a sneaking suspicion you'd guess it correctly. I didn't have my editor installed on this notebook and used a picture that I shouldn't have; after I posted I remembered that I'd already done one of Dominica but it was too late to retract.
Don't see Sea's clues,(?) but you got it. Terrific spot in summer as long as it doesn't blow SE.. Totally open and a long shallow beach makes for a very uncomfortable anchorage.
I'm sorry, I'm drinking too much, end of year is coming and december is a all round party... Faster did the clues, looking SE, near Vancouver, a beach with sand, grass, and lots of sailing boats...,I'm still dizzy...
picture will come soon, it will be a hung over picture!!!
It is not Lake Champlain, you are very close. The lake we are looking for is much more smaller, to the west. The lake has the name of a Town, which is around a lake with different name. Always been courious why? A place for sports all year around!.
New York; Sports year round; Gotta be Lake Placid or Mirror Lake; Beautiful country in the Winter and summer. Lived about 300 miles from there most of my life.
I agree, beautiful place always, I have friends who own a house by the lake, and every time I go back I get amazed by the beauty of the lanscape.
Lake Placid it is, and the moutain I was asking for is White Face.
Good Job.
I'm gonna guess the Finger Lakes in NY, but don't recognize the peak in the first pic. Lived on Keuka back in the early 70's when I got out the Navy. Blew up my 4.108 on Seneca in '95 on a Toronto to Charleston side trip. Looks like the terrain, I am gonna say Senaca?
