Adrian, you are correct. You are up (after the basketball game of course). What was your clue? In case anyone is interested, the strange looking buildings can be read about here https://www.moonholecompany.com/

Fred, San Andres is about a hundred miles or so off the coast of Nicaragua.

I'm trying to remember which museum had a large termite nest that one could walk through and see how it functions as a complex system. It was very impressive - I think it might have been Sheffield, but perhaps the natural history museum in London. Wherever it was, it was very impressive. Since the area looks dry, I am going to narrow the guess down to the eastern half of Oz.

No idea where it is, but I like your dual headsail rig. Dan It worked very well Dan. The wide beam of the cat meant I didn't need to use a pole to keep the two genoas filled all the way round to about 140 deg off the wind. Used that for the vast majority of a circumnavigation. I thought Fran might have got the answer to this as he gave this location as the answer to my previous post

Darwin? Sorry Mike, but you needed an extra coat of paint.

I saw that too Fred but I was at work and didn't get a chance to guess (well not really a guess) but you beat me to it. Mike, I was thinking the Northern Territory looking at your nav chart but went south for some reason. Go figure.

Ok, then I'm guessing Tasmania? Try a city in the more northern guess you made... Knew I'd miss one. Couldn't believe there were so many occurrences of the name! The original photo is Fanny Bay which is where all boats arriving in Darwin have to be quarantined (long before Covid). They came with divers to inspect the hull and then injected stuff UP the thru hulls to kill anything living there. Nice bay but not somewhere you want to go paddling in the water as they remove about 200 Salt Water Crocodiles every year which then gradually work there way back again.. Darwin was a really nice surprise. Arrived not expecting much but really liked the place. Then of course the Outback starts at the edge of town with some amazing sights. Really nice. Your go Fred.

Sadly quite a few people I've met through TTOL are now gone... BillH, Di, Saildoggie, BigJim, Bluebayou, Daix and now of course Nick. There may be others I don't know about as well. That's quite a toll.

Well I recognise the boat so I should recognise the location but it doesn't immediately come to mind. The shroud protection didn't last long and I didn't replace it so it is a pretty old photo. Definitely the Caribbean!

Mike, this was a much welcomed landfall after beating from Tortola. Next stop was Martinique where I think you were meeting Jean for some kind of sporting event. That'll have been March 2007 and the Cricket World Cup I think. Several years later than I thought. I do remember that being a tough old passage!

I had tickets for the World Cricket Cup in Antigua, then my rudder broke off while at sea in the BVI heading to St. Martin. Not my favorite sailing moment... Dis you have to turn round or did you make it to St Martin?

Mike - you've got approximately the correct latitude for southern Bavaria, but this building isn't in Germany.
