Aerial photos of where you keep your boat?

[rbgarr]

A searchable website that shows aerials of marinas, boatyards, etc.

Our sponsors ( I especially like the view that shows Blue Hill Bay and Mt. Desert in the distance (http://marinas.com/view/marina/10691)):

Marmalade is in here somewhere.

Here's where I grew up and learned to sail. The curved cove on the upper right was in view from my bedroom.

This 'cut' is the way out in the Nantucket Sound from the shallow West Bay where our house, the boatyards and the anchorage is.

This is Camden harbor, where I first lived in Maine.

And Stonington, Deer Isle, on Merchant Row, one of the nicest cruising grounds in Maine.

Here's where I live now, in the house on the right with the black roof and gable facing the water (second picture down on the right).

and here's Blake's Boatyard where I launch my boat.

My brother lives here, in the fifth house in along the row of them on the west side of the harbor.

I just took a look - looks like a great site. Out here, we just get Googe's Earth

[Jay Greer]

We appreciate your input here. Looks like you live in a boating paradise!
Now, does the site cover the west coast as well? I couldn't find anything.

You can see Vaea, my catamaran, just to the left of the floating restaurant, near the center of this shot. Just about at the innermost limit of the Los Angeles Harbor. Third picture down, that is.

And here is where I spent many summers getting darker than a coffee bean, Alamitos Bay.

Not where I keep my boat, but if you zoom in, the blue building in the background (not the featured marina) was my boat shop, part of the Owens Company. The peaked roof building to the right was the Balco Yacht Company building, a builder of wooden yachts of some note.

You can see my old Hinckley at:
http://marinas.com/view/marina/4574

Far left, dark blue hull. If you zoom in you can actually see the brightwork.

Kinda cool, but obviously a minimum of 3 years old.

Jay-

Isn't this the 'marina' at Port Townsend??

[Thorne]

Well, I often launch here, and use to keep my San Juan here during the sailing season.

I'll be damned, my little marina is here too. Must have been a good day, my cars there, Enterprise is not!

This is NOT where I keep my boat ... my marina is not listed for some reason. Not sure why.

This IS however, the nationally and somewhat internationally famous Hoppie's Marina. A great place to find that melancholy feeling ... several old Chris's ... bullnoses ... double-cabins.

A boat graveyard.

Hoppie himself can be an old SOB! I offered to buy a dieing 40 1954 Chris bullnose double-cabin off him 10 years ago ... very solid, but in need a restoration.

He would accept anything less than 30k. Whatever, Hoppie.

That boat is now falling onto its blocks ... worth about 3-4 grand tops now. the good news is he only wants 20k now!

Why kill a yacht like that? What an a$$!

He also has every year Ford Thunderbird from the 1950s through the early 1980s sitting, rusting in his yard.

Eccentric? That's an understatement.

Anyone who has completed the Great Circle knows of Hoppie and Hoppie's!

Brad, where's the link?

"We could not find any locations in the area you requested"

Can't say I was surprised. ;)

Here's Redwing's home on Cape Cod Bay.

Here's Sippican Harbor in Marion, MA. I'll be here.

Amazing! Someone caught a picture of my bowshed,with my present project inside(31 foot cruiser), with me standing right in the door way, just behind my car!

The only bowshed in the yard right here,second picture down,from the selection on the right:

No marina, but here's Sanderling, about 10,000 miles from you guys -- that little blue dot in the middle of the picture.

It is kind of amazing how many places they've captured this way, isn't it?

[Ian McColgin]

A beaucoupcool tool.

Marmalade can be seen on webcam at

http://www.hyannisholiday.com/cape-cod-hotels-lodging-harbor-large-stream.htm

Some of the bow and the mast are visible on the other side of a fishing boat, far right.

The marinas.com pic shows the winter berth from the air and the other direction – the cluster about top center.

The marinas.com shot of Hyannis Port - http://marinas.com/view/marina/3081 - does not go out far enough to see Marmalade’s mooring or any other breakwater, but does show where I keep the dink in front of Sam Barber’s (American Impressionist) tower studio and house at the far right. The smudge just left of his pier at and parallel to the line between sand and beachgrass is the dory Leeward in her final role as a beach ornament. The three shots that don’t include HPYC’s dock show what’s left of the old railroad warf, all underwater. The stones from it were used to extend the Hyannis Port breakwater.

Terraserver is another great source – great satallite shots.

Kind of like an extended version of The Visual Guide to The Maine Coast

AWESOME!

This isn't the photo specifically for our marina (ours is the one to the right) but it shows RARUS front and center! (rather bright red keel, cream topsides, on land).

This is the spring after we rescued her from Putz and Replace.

OK, no lie, she's visible in their shed as well!
http://marinas.com/view/marina/4503
Under the large red building, generally center to the pic, she's the bow visible!

Thanks, Dave, for the site!

Matt-

Is your marina (around the corner) shown in the last picture in the series on the right (second page)?

[bott]

Holy cow!

here's my actual boat in its slip in seattle...

Kittiwake looks like a center cockpit sloop with a skeg hung rudder (perhaps) so she wouldn't be a Rozinante. I wonder if she may be the 1947 Ray Hunt Shoaler 32 listed in WB's Register of Wooden Boats to an owner in Annapolis.
