If so, that means it's the Simpson Bay Yacht Club? Carol Hill

Building in front of that with two white roofs is Skipjacks. Building center left is IGY marina, home of Fat Turtle. Simpson Bay Resort is not in the picture Last edited by BillandElaine; 05/29/2018 05:09 PM. Elaine ********************************* God Bless the broken road....

Are wee talking about the ORIGINAL screenshot in this particular post or a picture you personally saw on the webcam that is not posted here? Unless you are seeing a different picture that what I am seeing in this post, SBR is NOT in sight. J.D.
