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:
Rande Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge opened in 1978 between the towns of Redondela and Moana , banks of the Strait of Rande on the ria of Vigo . It was designed by Italian engineer Fabrizio de Miranda , the Spanish Florencio del Pozo (who was also responsible for the foundation) and Alfredo Passaro .
Cost of 3,658 million pesetas at the time of its construction. Since opening to traffic in 1981, have passed the 231 million vehicles currently enduring a traffic of about 50,000 vehicles per day.

Golly Andrew, what time do you get up in the morning? It was simple with Google. So here is another photo that I took a few years ago. Just the location (town or city or marina).
Early riser mate. I still work and combine that with an overwhelming loathing for peak hour traffic. Happily I can to some extent decide my own hours so I get up around 0530 and am in the office by 0730. At that hour of the day it takes me around 20 minutes from home to office. Leave it an hour later and you can easily double that time. At the other end of the day I get out of here around 1530.

I'm getting nowhere with this. I can come up with the Sunshine Skyway bridge as a possible candidate for the bridge in the back ground but nothing around it that ties in with the original pic. Then again while the SSB is on the west coast it is apparently well known as a good spot for a sunrise pic.
i thought the thing in the middle background is some tower or something like it, but it is an space shuttle or missile launch...
so if it is west of it, it should be around titusville - probably the marina there, but the bridge in the image is giving me some trouble...
does not look like the max brewer memorial pkwy...
no - i think i am right, it IS the marina in titusville...
look at the google maps image - it is all there, the pavillion, the sign, the statue with the sitting man:
You are right, Capt. Vimes. The original sunrise photo was taken about 5:30 am in June looking from the Titusville Marina toward the Cape Canaveral area. The daylight photo captures a shuttle launch just lifting off. You can see the exhaust trail just above the center of the bridge. Your turn now.
so the whole beach looks something like this: (excuse my bad image manipulating, but it does not get any better with paint the only available software... )
I thought it was just another Florida water policeman...
