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:

So this is putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5.
In Aruba there is a celebration of the queens birthday called either Koninginnedag or Anja di La Reina. As part of that there is a miniature boat festival. I have no idea if it is related to your picture.

Tasmania... Hobart, a Dutch festival/celebration...

Ok I'll give you that but in fact ..... Hobart Timber Boat Festival in Constitution Dock every two years. Mate of mine built the tug .... it even has brass bell that he cast himself and a working head ffs. They actually use(d) it to move some of the yachts around.

----- deleted embarassing historical inaccuracy -----

whoa ... that is not right at all .... Abel Tasman was the first ****** to visit Tasmania and he named it in honour of Van Diemen.

NOW you got it....:)

(the other two guys were Sebastian and Etienne... or was it Joe and Xavier....:confused:;):D)

btw that shot was taken from the base of the Pitons, where we were on a mooring buoy. A pic from any other angle would have been a dead giveaway...

Next, Mark!

Oopsie - you are correct, it must be either color blindness or dsylexia setting in! The inside view looks a bit like Jolly Harbour on Antigua but the sun is setting in the wrong quadrant and I don't recall concrete blocks, either. <sigh> I'll have to wait for another hint or watch someone else take off with the prize.
