I know Beerman is planning on posting a few "where are we?" pictures. I figured I'd get started while we wait for his report. We'll start with an easy one.

I knew that would be easy.. here's a much harder one that probably only a few will be able to get (pretty much opposite end of the difficulty scale!), but you get points for knowing generally where it is.

Warren gets points for knowing its Leverick - Rita wins for knowing its D&D!

I did not want to say d&d as I have never been there. D&D a as my assumption. That's why I said above the Marina.

Looks more like pelicans then Indians. I'm considering other possibilities. Standby.
My final answer is Kelly's cove at the point on Norman island on your port side as you enter.

Warren, you were correct with your first though - This was on one of the dive buoys off Pelican Island, looking North towards Tortola.

I thought I might see the little Island if it were the dive bouy at the Pelicans. Matt, have you booked your next visit yet?

We know when we'll likely be going, but haven't booked anything yet. November should be our next trip. Then next summer - maybe late spring.

That was an easy one smile At least for anyone that dives and has dove the Rhone smile

Here's two - first one is a tough one that only divers would know and next is much easier.

Diamond Cay and the view from the East End of Jost. Little Jost to the right, Bubbly pool to the left and Foxy's Taboo in the middle. Hideaway Villa has a similar view when you look out of the Master bedroom shower.

The cross is at the dive site Rainbow Canyons on Pelican island. Same spot actually where the above water shot was taken.
