    Google Earth SXM image with labels

    For those of you who have not been to Sint Maarten I've labeled a Google Earth image of the SXM Marinas and two of my Bar/Restaurants. This is where I usually take the photos from. I hope that this puts things in a clearer perspective.

    setup an AIS receiver and antenna at the bar and publish http://www.shipplotter.com/ screenshot on your website.

    a lot of the big yachts will have AIS transmitters :D

    Hi Neil,
    I'd like to thank you for your informative posting. This web-site is so educational!
    I'm looking at the last four yachts that you have posted pics for us to see, and I only see one (Chevy Toy) that is flying the correct "Courtesy" flag.
    I have to go way back to my US Navy days trying to remember proper flag protocols. If I am correct, the courtesy flag is always flown from the starboard-yard.
    But, I am confused. It looks like all the pics you have posted show their "flag country" colors flying from their stern mast? I recall flying our country colors from the main mast while underway, and shifting them to the stern mast only after passing lines ashore, or dropping the "hook". Is my memory just too foggy, or are these vessels "jumping the gun" with their country colors? :confused:

    Mike,
    Greetings from D Island. Have been speaking with several outfits here about adding a webcam at Buccaneer, a better one than I had at Sunset. I hope to add it before the end of the year!
    Even though I lease the space at the Yacht Club....well they're not keen on having a cam there...??....
