In celebration of a final layout for the deck yet to be named, we offer the rendering above with a challenge.
Can anyone tell us where this is? One of the two radar screens matches the sea ahead. That is a hint.

Give us a hard one, Steve!
80°00.194’N
10°17.835’E
The pictures you posted that summer never failed to awe.

That is correct, Dave:

The chart plotter and one radar appear to be Baranof Island, Alaska

Steve,
Do you think the solar reliance will be challenging for hi latitude crusing? Have spent a fair amount of time in BC and AK, is is fair to say that while beautiful, it is not always clear. Or perhaps, given temperature and lack of need for AC, the small generator is sufficient.
Just curious
You are also getting dangerously close to “yacht” and away from work boat

The cooler and/or more overcast the climate the lower the current usage and the more efficient the solars, albeit with less sunlight. There will be a genset of sufficient capacity to handle the boat in hot climates, with air con to match.The important point is that we are not going to need the air conditioning or genset nearly as much as with the old school way of doing things. But if you happen to be anchored in the Bahamas in July, the breeze shuts off, and the bugs come to play, then turn on the genset, run the air.

Thanks for looking

80 00.202’N — 10 17.839’E
CSE 350 — SPD 5. 6kt (per the pic tagged “80-degrees-north-40.jpg”)
The “2nd from the left”-radar’s pic (tagged “80-degrees-north-29-1.jpg”)
Near Ny Alesund, Svalsbard, on/near your 42nd-Anniversary (one of many memorable-ones, yes?)
Congrats for both achievements — and for what appears to be an equally magnificent layout for the formerly-called Pilot Deck !!!

You got it, John:

I would say it is Nuuk in Greenland and I would say you work to long or get up to early;)
Kind regards

Looks like the entry to Disco Bay on the West Coast of Greenland.

Disko Bay?

It might turn out beneficial to carry the height of the backrest across the entire front section of “the deck yet to be named”, to ensure no glare to the helm from the solar panels on the housetop?

Hi Kieth:
The subject of solar panel reflection at low sun angles is the subject of much discussion,, simulation, and testing. There are several factors in our favor. The 5.5 degree slope downward of the Great Room roof helps. The seat backs as well. And, we always have the option of using hinged or removable sun shields in darkened, but translucent, plastic behind the seats.

Are you going to go with electronic engine dials on the Conning Tower? And/or at the helm in the great room?
February 10th, 2012 at 10:01 pm
There will be engine and more data at both Great Room and the con above.

Looks to me like that is the view from the Worldview Deck.

Looks like a Veranda to me.
