OK, here is the answer (or at least clue)

Fred - you were wrong, the location is "Redonda", not "Rhonda" - but I'll let you slide

Yes, I confessed that earlier, but I had already posted a picture. I
owe you one.

I missed the correction you had posted, it was on the previous page and all I saw was this page. No worries, you were close enough to getting the right name and you'd correctly identified where the island is. I've sailed past that barren rock a couple of times and each time the seas were just a bit too much for me to anchor on the leeward side and climb up the path to the top.

An interesting side note, the red buoy began life in eastern Canada, ran away from home and hitched rides on currents before ending up here. I learned that from George Jeffrey (pictured here and also on the cover of the 2014/15 Cruising Guide to the Leeward Islands).

Offhand I can only think of two islands that are that flat in the Leewards - Anegada and Barbuda. I have been to Anegada many times and haven't seen a red buoy like that one so I'm going to guess Barbuda.

That was a lucky guess - because of my boat's deep draft I've never gone there but it is on my list of places to visit.

Going from flat to hilly... Where is this?

I would say that this is the side of the volcano in Montserrat. That appears to be sulfur deposits along with volcanic ash.

That was much faster than I expected. The next picture was to have been this one, which probably would have made guessing the location a lot easier. All yours, XSMFOX

Ok, so where am I? One small hint, the kids use to dive in the water to collect the coins that the tourists would threw in.

Good guess Fran but farther east. I guess I didn’t think about it, but kids to the same thing there also, lol. I will say that this picture was taken back in 95, so it might look a bit different now.

One more clue. This place use to have a rather large soap factory that use to spill their waste by product directly into the ocean. Now that should help help

Come on y’all, this can’t be that difficult. Fred was the closest, so another clue. Just remember these photos are from 1995. Carol when someone gets it right, you slap your forehead and say “I knew that”, LOL. LOOK CLOSE, kids in the water collecting coins tossed in the water by tourists. We’ve all seen this.

Be back in awhile, trying to keep up with Capt. Rick Moore down in San Andr’es going through another cat 5 hurricane, stronger than Irma.

Sorry to jphart, but no. A little farther north than that. Remember this picture was from 1995, things have changed, sorry about that. Look at the clues, many about. Going to bed now, I can’t believe this has lasted this long.

We’ve been several times, and on each occasion the kids were always there, and they would make their presents known by yelling. It was hard to sit out on the balcony and drink coffee, and if you ever started throwing coins, watch out! It was fun though. This is the old dock, where the ship would pull along side the dock as if it were going straight into the island.

I haven't been to that beach, but the island in the picture is most likely ĂŽle Tintamarre, so this picture was taken on St. Martin, FWI laugh

That was quick. It is St Martin, Orient Beach. I thought Carol would get this one. You're up again.

I actually had a picture series taken on Tintamarre that I wanted to use; but now I have to choose something different...

Here goes, where is this:

Fran--I didn't see it until Zanshin had already gotten it. Definitely St. Martin. I believe actually the picture was probably taken at the beach for Esmeralda, based on the seat cushion color, but I could be wrong.

I'll add a clue already, since I neglected to post it with the original picture above. This (closed) location supplied a raw material to the (closed) location above. What town are we in?

Carol, Can't say for sure if you are right or wrong. When we went there the sign said Orient Beach but I guess the beach has different sections too.
