That's the Star of India. She's berthed in San Diego, and is the second oldest tall ship afloat (after the USS Constitution) but is considered to be the oldest active sailing ship in the world.

Ah, Ben...that's really reaching, my nutty buddy!

I'm more interested in the local, it looks a lot like Taylor lake up in the Siskyous, but a little bigger. And they don't have picnic tables there, it's hike in only, and you'd be hard pressed to drag a Zodiac and an outboard in there. Not to mention that you'd probably get shot for firing up the outboard there!

That last pic was taken in California. That's Alcatraz Island in the background. Don't know the ship though.

It's Butt Valley Reservoir near Lake Almanor (near Lassen Volcanic N.P.).
That campsite I was in, had a picnic table near the edge of the lake; actually it was partiallly in the lake.
Real nice spot.

The boat is an Avon R310 with a Honda 10 hp outboard.

Oh Ben, you never mentioned what my prize is for correctly identifying Balclutha.
For that matter you never confirmed it, but we both know I'm right!

I was going to say Shasta, but there's no houseboats. It couldn't be here, because the trees are too small are there's a lack of beer cans on the picnic table.
