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:
Guadeloupe has the biggest marina in the Caribbean (according to them), and this might be a picture of it; I will be going there for a day or three while my visitors from cold German acclimate, if it is indeed Bas-du-Fort. I'm just a day's sail away right now, anchored in Falmouth Harbour, Antigua.
I thought the thread had died a graceful death in it's sleep and let it lie, but if Geoff54 is ready with another picture I'm game. I'm also in Guadeloupe (Iles des Saintes) and about to clear out for Dominica in 20-25 knot winds because the kids want to see whales and visit the rainforest.
Not sure what the mods can do to help, other than participate which Faster and tdw have done. I have enjoyed this thread as well but it's getting harder to come up with new places and now that it's summer people would rather be outside applying bottom paint and cleaning their bilges. Maybe having had a bit of a rest, we can revive it.
No, sorry! Look to the North.
This is an old whaling town.
It had a role in both the American Revolution and the War of 1812.
The boat (and it's owner) are very famous (I used photoshop to obscure the name).
The harbor serves this town and another, larger town.
I'll see if I can dig up some more pictures.
Fort Phoenix is on the Fairhaven side of the harbor but let's not split hairs.
The Boat is Joshua Slocum's Spray, which he found and rebuilt in Fairhaven.
All yours, sir.
It would appear that the Captain does not want to play anymore. If there is anyone else who wishes to revive this thread go ahead and post a picture. Or if there is a consensus we can let it die.
Keep this thread alive. Its a great idea. I would gladly upload a pic but im not using my regular PC at the moment. Someone please upload a pic locale to keep this huge and fun thread alive
This is an older thread, you may not receive a response, and could be reviving an old thread. Please consider creating a new thread.
