We don't show up on Google Earth, but on Microsoft's Maps Live...

or, in case that wraps badly, http://tinyurl.com/62sakw

You can see the 7ft dinghy hanging on our davits and the tiny grey rectangle on the cockpit roof is our solar panel!

Has anyone else found themselves yet?

Resolution on Microsoft maps for Bray is very low. But on Google maps its hi res and unfortunately my boats not on the pontoon. Loads of cars though and I think mine may be there. Must have been on a jaunt when it was taken as it looks Mid summerish

Tailspin II is Berthed at Bray Marina and so am I when i'm not at work! :-)

Have you checked each of the NSE&W views of MS's Bird's eye? They're often taken weeks/months apart.

Didn't I read something about Pontoon G?

Is that where you are?

That is not G pontoon.


"Carli" is a Birchwood 25 powered by the mighty Sea Panther diesel on shaft. She is based at Bray marina on the River Thames.

Ah, in which case... the views looking South & West views show you both.  Looking West is probably better.

Tailspin closest to us and Carli furthest away.

Cool!

The overhead Microsoft maps aren't quite as good as Google's, but if you're in an area where Microsoft have done a Bird's Eye view, that's wa-ay better.
