Can You Name This Place ?

Highway 101 X Coos Bay.

Close, but your further south.

Damm! All those WPA bridges look the same!

 

[twistedtree]

This is definitely off the beaten track, but I think a few of you have been there.

Grytviken or Stromness. I’ll say stromness.

Well I'm beginning to think it might have been one of those lost weekends.

If it's not Yakuina Bay, aka McCullough Bridge near Newport, then I don't know, unless it is way inland.

Ive never heard it referred to as Yakuina Bay, But it is the entrance to Newport. That’s 2 for 2, you’re on a role!

Off a Caribbean island. A race of mega yachts called the bucket. Which one?

St Martin?

Capt. Tom,

Is that Roque Island beach?

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!

 

[Todd R]

Roque Island is beautiful. There in August.

St Martin?

St. Barts but think they also race around st.martin, and know BVI. Got that shot from the committee boat. Amazing to see a dozen or more 100’+ sailboats with all the rags up.

TT, you need to be looking about 120º or so further south!

Some may guess this one...the narrow framing makes it more difficult.

Greetings,
Mr. SC. Yes! Access from here to Lake Ontario (via the Rideau Canal) and/or the Atlantic (vial the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence Rivers). Those undertaking the "Great Loop" can add the Canadian "Loop" to their itinerary. VERY much worth it IMHO.

This one's in the Caribbean and is a bit tricky to enter with a guided missile destroyer what with its floating swing bridge. You can cheat and look at the photo's info.

 

[peterg]

Curacao. Have walked over that swing bridge several times, between the two sides of the town. The swing bridge actually floats on a series of small boat hulls. Its quite an experience to sit at one of the waterfront restaurants when a large ship enters or leaves the port.

Alaska Prof;

Your photo is certainly similar, and I guess is an abandoned whaling station. My photo is as well, but to give you a hint it is in Antarctica.

Departing from Rochester, I did the Rideau canal / Champlain / Erie canal "triangle" with my Dad on his boat ~1974. One of my most memorable trips, ever!

Outstanding. FT Drum specifically. That piece of concrete has quite a history.

This has been called the most painted building in the US. The town paints it with new paint that looks weather beaten to preserve its look.

Maine? Boothbay Harbor? Bar Harbor??

That's 17 nautical miles from my slip. One of our favorite places.

Not quite. The most painted and photographed building…
