Re: Where, who, when?
Great picture, thanks for posting. The figure visible in the cockpit is my co-owner Mr Cameron, master sail trimmer. We would not normally expect to keep up with, never mind begin to reel in a vessel such as yours, we assumed the reduced canvas was something to do with having very junior trainee crew aboard?

Re: Where, who, when?
Indeed, spot on for both. I should have posted the photograph that I have without the lighthouse or the cardinal buoy.....
A lower resolution would have helped as well; one that would not have shown tell tails, (or perhaps tell tales) The wind was changing direction quickly that day.
