Where is this?
Just back from holiday and along my travels took this picture of my favorite yacht club. The club is at the foot of the mountain / hill.
Can anyone out there identify this place
Tip: Clubhouse restaurant make the best carpetbaggers in the universe...

No, you guys are not correct. Any other takers

By the way Bergalia, some movie star reminds me of you. I just cannot place the bugger now

A combination actually - Equipped like Errol Flynn, looks of Gregory Peck, body of Jane Russell...

Having a second bite at the photo - Guantanamo Bay ?

But looking at the volcanic mass - more likely somewhere in Hawaii.

Where's this
Hold it, hold it...I'm having a third bite. Something in the back of the memory:Mindelo in the Cape Verde Islands, but I don't remember the spikey rock though there was a great bar just off the Avenida Marginal...

You were out skiing Ragi when he said it wasn't Cape Town...

Personally I don't believe he went there. I reckon he was just sifting through a 'real' sailor's ditty-box and came across a packet of postcards...That's why he's being so furtive about the answer....
