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:

Who is this Geoff bustard and why do we let him play ?
Well if you are going to be like that, I'll just take my computer and go home! ;)

OK some clues:
The first picture was taken from outside the actual harbor although the old wooden lighthouse of the same name (now decommissioned and moved to the shore) was even further out. I guess either the name of the harbor or the outer bay will suffice.

For a short time it was a whaling center.

This is further in and from the opposite bank.

Sorry, not Pt. Judith Pond.

Mark - Really? The lighthouse was named for the harbor not the harbor for the lighthouse…And it wasn't old at the time so it would have had to have been "New Wooden Lighthouse Harbor" :rolleyes:

Home to an educational and scientific institute - the first picture was taken from the grounds of the institute but not the main campus. After the mix up earlier, I was hoping Rob might recognize it. Although one is a bit obscure, here are the last picture clues before I'm forced to make it too easy. (The streaks in the sky are reflections on the window).

I had it before you posted the last pic. Found a reference to Cold Spring Harbour Light being sold to some old girl for $1.00 in 1965 or thereabouts ands she had it moved to her front law. You'd mentioned the light being moved and that first pic of the running water tied in nicely. Google earth confirmed the layout matched.

All I will tell you is that I found this place after googling one phrase.

(Not my pic btw ... so whoever gets it will find the original.)

A significant rock outcropping near Stanley, Tasmania, known as 'the Nut' in case anyone was wondering.... ;)

OK.. back to the Northern Hemisphere for a bit.. One good rock deserves another!! :)

That's it.. well done. We rented a 'jeep/samurai' type rig and spent a day driving the whole island.. interesting trip on many levels. We anchored at the North end.. while this looks a perfect anchorage it's park and anchoring is prohibited. We did see some of the fishermen muscling a boat up the beach in the village, but little other activity there.

Narrow roads, right hand drive.. we were happy to have a Brit on the crew.

Fallard's up again!
