So...when looking around on GE, I often check the image of the marina - where we usually are located when the sat image is taken - and I noticed we're not at our slip! The shot is from June 19, and we were on our way to participate in the Summer Sailstice in Greenport...so I checked our route, and there we are , got us just as we had raised the main and were coming off the wind - COOL

Thats cool. Now if you can zoom in you will have a nice aerial shot if you can lift the photo somehow.

How did you identify yourself? The boat I see at that lat/lon doesn't look like a C-25 to me.

The current image for Sarge is from 4/7/13, where she's under shrinkwrap in a boatyard, but still easy to identify. Earlier, they showed her in her slip at my condo.

My fave is my wind app has images taken when the water level on our lake was down 17 feet... and now it shows my location and any shallows around me.

Dave - Wonder what you believe a C25 should look like...not only is the image the right length and shape, I'm certain that's us because the sun cover of the head sail is the absolute correct color (red/brown), and this also shows our common practice w/ winds blowing from the NW, of turning towards our beach when raising the main, plus... based on the apparent time of day - as indicated by the shadows - the position jives with our log entry showing time of departure from the marina...basically the right place at the right time... but other than that, I got nothing..

Well, it looked beamier (the C-25 is relatively narrow) with wider side decks and transom, and I didn't see any sign of an outboard... Other than that, I got nuttin.

Wow - Good thing you weren't doing anything illegal, immoral or fattening!
