Yes!  But there are a lot of islands in that chain.  Any idea where?

Slightly southeast of there.  But so close you can sail there in a few hours.

One more hint and then I'll be offline for a couple of hours.  It is Union Island in the background.  Just not from Mayreau.

Even closer.  The island we're on is technically in a different country but you don't "have" to clear customs.

Zanshin had the right country, but the wrong part.  Maybe this will help.

A couple of photos back there is a sign saying 'Boat Trip' in English so guessing it might be a cruise ship port. So... Civitavecchia (Spelling?)

Sleepychef, you got it.  I'm curious, what was the clue you recognized or did I leave a sign in one of the pictures that said "Syracusa"?  You are up.

I'll post one, the first of a series where each one is more recognizable as I'd be amazed if someone could guess this location from this picture alone:

No, not Saba - but the waters here are warmer than in the Hebrides...

Maybe the warm water is the Gulf Stream and some where like P.E.I ?

Interesting confirmation and I always liked "Help Me Rhonda" by the Beach Boys.  Here's another picture.

Fran, turns out I spelled it incorrectly as it is Redonda (Kingdom of) about 10 -12 miles NW of Montserrat.    Not the Bahamas or Dominica
