Under the blue covers, counting inward from right to left, at number 5 is my brother's F32 and in number 6 is mine. And in number 9, is my buddy's F36 which was not in his slip that day.

On the other side of the blue covers are 4 more Trojans which you can't see. F31, F32, F36 and an 11 meter.

Cannot figure out how to grab the bing picture, but here's the site: http://binged.it/MVsSiR

The 11 Meter "Primrose" sits under roof in the dock that is pretty much centered in the screen (another boat is tied up to the side of the dock). It's kind of in the middle of a big lake (for Oklahoma) with several "seaside" restaurants and bars within an hour of us. Most weekends we just go find a cove to anchor in for the afternoon.

A picture of my boat is at the Google maps link below:

http://goo.gl/maps/15aK

My F26 is in the middle of the screen, and is the second boat up from the T on the inside of the dock with the brown canvas and black front window. With the tight quarters and strong current, it can be very challenging getting a single engine inboard into that dock space. The person I bought the boat from could do it well, but I don't have his skill level yet. I haven't damaged anything yet, but I have frightened myself a couple of times.
