Georgs and others;
The screen shot of the location is from an aerial photograph that Google Earth could have purchased a couple of years ago.  The placemark is at the coordinates Ben gave us in today's April 4 post.  If Google Earth used an aerial photograph taken today, we'd expect to find "Idlewild" underneath the placemark assuming that's where Ben's GPS was when the readings were taken.
Ben must be doing some out-of-water work on "Idlewild."  That's probably why he mentioned what "a lovely boatyard" Sadgrove's Quay was.  The Travel Lift wasn't as easy to spot in this shot as it was in the shot of "Idlewild's" original launchging spot.  I wonder what Ben was trying to get through Australian Customs?
