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:

A marine park on one of the Great Lakes... pretty flat country there...

One looks like it could be an auto ferry, the other some sort of passenger ferry or water taxi. It's hard to be sure though.

I'm guessing this is not a far off destination every boat has the outboard on the dink so they are not set up for a crossing... Is it in New England?

Ferries? Passenger and vehicle? So we may be at/near/on an island?

Picture file name includes 'morning'...??:confused:

Can we narrow down the continent? Looks like North America..

Mark you are right. In the first picture the sailboats at anchor with dinghies gave the clue that it was a cruising destination. The two commercial vessels let one know where. The ferry is an Albury ferry unique to the Abacos and the freighter indicated a harbour. Had to be Marsh Harbour. The courtesy flag in the second photo is the Bahamian ensign which is flown as the courtesy flag.

Jeez Mark.... use photobucket already....

Within 10 deg lat is a big belt worldwide.. is it Caribbean?....

.... and it could be +/- 10 degrees....:(

Sure looks like Caribbean.. obviously little wind break, so low land/reef.. plenty of buildings so not a place like Nonesuch Bay....

Lol! Correct! :D

I couldnt get a photo from my big computer so i took one on the ipad from the cockpit. There is a cold norther up to 30 knots at the moment and this bay is copping it.
The buildings on the center left are accommodation blocks for a navy station, the blob building center right... Hence the regularity of the buildings and eye sore main building
