The Great Escape

Sigh

                                                                                                                                          Getaway

If I was single and alone, this would be my absolute dream house. I know, there are other islands, but this one has a smaller adjacent island. What a great place to escape to when you need to be by yourself— but more.

Aaaand maybe it's the staff lodge.; 2/26/12, 9:14 PM

I dunno, though. Every time I look at a photograph of a mansion on an island, I remember this video.; 2/26/12, 9:38 PM

DougM said...: Sailorgeek terminology update:
If I recall, a "yardarm" is the short outboard end of a yard beyond the lifts.
The yard is divided into bunt, quarter, and yardarm.
Good to know, if you get to makin' bar bets down by the wharf.

Actually, I know where this place is.; 2/29/12, 8:21 AM
