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:
I' a bit confused about the status of the thread. Is that last picture by smurphny with the city skyline the one we are supposed to guess the location of?
Yes, I withdrew the first picture posted because it had an identifying file name that showed when the cursor hovered on the thumbnail. The last picture is the one in play.
As one who did deliveries for Neptunus Yachts out of St Catharines for years before they went bankrupt, and has been though the Barge Canal dozens of times, I should be shot if I didn't recognize that one... (grin)
Very nice picture, that made it go "click" and I looked around the Falklands but with no success, then I thought of the Antarctic mainland, but that is too far south, so I fired up trusty Google maps and found Grytviken in the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
I didn't know that Shackleton's Grave was located there!
It is 18:00 here and I will be heading home, where I only have sporadic internet access, so I might not be able to respond to the thread until tomorrow morning.
PierreMundo - Yes, it is a lake and is in Arizona and is indeed Lake Pleasant. I flew over this lake hundreds of times since the airport/gliderport approach to Turf takes one over the lake. There are sometimes huge raft-ups (powerboats) and you can get high circling above them in thermals and even at 5000 ft AGL you can hear the music.
You made a good gues. It is Lake Champlain. Picture is taken from Apple Island near Burlington, VT. Had a great time this summer driving the New England states.

I actually thought it was the place where I keep my boat. We have a campground but we don't have a golf course One of the boats in the picture looks like that of someone I know. Well, here's the next pic (I hope Faster will be kind enough to make it larger again):
I'm impressed, I didn't think anyone would get this one that quickly... Castle Island is pretty far south in the Bahamas, not many cruisers make it down there, and it's a tricky spot to visit... I've never gotten ashore there, the surge was always a bit too much to feel comfortable about leaving the boat unattended at anchor...
The Bight of Acklins is one of my favorite spots in the Bahamas... Very remote, you're really on your own down there... If you're into ghost towns, this is the place...
Here's an old church in the abandoned settlement of Pompey Bay, off the beautiful anchorage in Delectable Bay...
That sure looks like a beautiful spot. Wish I was there about now. It was -22F here a couple of night ago. Here's another, then I'll just watch the great photos for a while.
