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:
BAP Abtao is a Sierra-type submarine which was launched as Tiburon (Shark). In 1957 her name was changed to Abtao in memory of the naval battle of 7 February 1866 fought between the Spanish and Peruvian/Chilean naval squadrons.
When the 'Bro" burned everything and left deCoursey to avoid the police he went to Roberts Creek to hide out. As a child I played in the boxes he had used to transport his 20 million in gold coins. See 'Canada's False Prophet.' AS a juvi delinquent I was before Judge Beaver Potts, Same magistrate as XII stood before. Sure is neat to have been part of our local history even if we didn't know it at the time.
Looks like Capt Len had the right island, but didn't specifically declare it. Perhaps he could name the cove with the docking pod in the photo if you need that level of detail.
I'm happy to let Len have it.. you're right, he did name 'DeCourcy' island.. I was after the park/cove itself. The Paulo hint was supposed to clinch it.
He's baffled by we North Americans' celebrations of 'Pirates'...
This is Pirate's Cove Marine park, tucked into a nook on the infamous Brother XII's island enclave.

OK Capt Len - you're next.
