Cheer up folks, fine weather is here...
...Here in the Med, that is! :D

While thinking that a few piccies could be appreciated by those who for any reason will not enjoy a boating weekend, I was wondering if someone couldn't also spot the places below.
I'm sure that some of you have been there by boat, so they must have looked at the charts and might recognise the aerial views...
With apologies for poor quality, couldn't do better with a phone camera through an airplane porthole.

A) First spot below. Hint: N is on the left, S on the right.

B) Second spot. Hint: same island as before.

C) And here's another. Actually dead easy, for those who can recognise (B).

D) Finally, this just goes to show what the proper colour of sea water should be... :D

Only just seen this MapisM. Lovely pics, so I have done a pictorial reply :-)

A is Cap Corse, with stunning Salecci beach just chopped bottom of pic and St Florent bay right of centre of pic. Fab location, that I have done by car as well as boat

B is bottom of Corsica looking towards SE. Figari airport strip visible. Bonifacio in there but hard to see in pic, and even Rondinara beach visible the far side. Islands top right are Lavezzi and Rapallo.

C is Bonifacio Straits and Madellena islands with Spargi, Porto Cervo, Olbia, Cala Di Volpe all visible

All this is the same area as in my Latitude Kinsale picture on m/y Match, which by coincidence I unscrewed from the bulkhead yesterday and wrapped in bubble wrap, as I handed over Match to her nice new Swedish owners in Antibes (she will soon be in Malmo!)

Doh! I should have guessed that the only reason why you didn't spot those places so far was that you didn't see the pics yet...!
I hope my next flight will be above some clouds, to make things more interesting! :D

Thanks for the "pictorial reply", the pic of Salecci beach is lovely, but am I alone in not being able to access the others?

PS: Ops, you've obviously been faster than my reply. Links working now. And beautiful pics, too! :)

PPS: congrats for finalising the deal. By when should we expect the new build thread?

Glad you kepy that JFM, I admired it in detail when I had a look at LIBS, presume it will transfer to the new boat?

That's very good news, congratulations jfm! Looking forward both to the new build thread and also that Match now is in Swedish waters :) Do you know if she will stay in Malmo?
