I'm a little late but I wanted to post a few pics from my cruise with the Leeward Cruising Club last week. LCC is the offspring of the Mowry Bay Cruising Club, a group of folks who just want to sail for fun without racing. I appreciate this group, because I'm not a racer. I just sail for fun, and I don't race. I know my limits and right [...]

Getting Around
Today, I decided to sail a completely different area. I went to Mowry Bay and started sailing Oriel, my Trudeau One, around the mainland continent of Sansara. Sansara is one of the older continents that existed before the massive land boom of 2007 and the subsequent land gluts. It's got a certain charm to it that some of the newer places ju [...]
Ridin’ Around In My Automobiiii...
Happy Easter, everyone! I hope you all had a safe holiday.So I went for another sail. This time, I dusted off Joyeux, my J-Class, and I invited a friend along for the sail. I started out again at Tradewinds Yacht Club, heading toward Corsica again. This time, I took the near passage and avoided the cluster**** heading west. This was gene [...]
One Year Later
Amazing. I didn't realize that it had been a whole year since posting, but here it is.I haven't been logging in a whole lot. It is sometimes months at a time between logins. And then when Linden Lab made some kind of change to the code that was unfriendly to my video card, I just stayed away since I couldn't help but crash every couple of m [...]
TYC Winterchampionships 2012 – SLSA W...
The coming weekend the SLSA World Cup Event in Quest 2M will be held at Tradewinds Yacht Club. This event will also count as TYC Winter Championships 2012. The race will be sailed in the wonderful Quest 2M, a Bwind-based racing keelboat.
The races will be held from the Siracusa line, in the SecondLife Sea known as ‘The Channel’. [...]
Circumventing Terric
Honah Lee from Terric
Those, who ever have sailed the coast of Satori continent, have likely encountered an obstacle in its eastern waters. There is a peninsula-like region called Terric (slurl), which has a huge shopping area. South from it there are some sailable waters, but the only way to access them is to fly or teleport over Terric and [...]
Sailing in Nascera
Near the modern part
Nascera is not a typical mainland continent, because look of houses and landscaping there is taken care by Linden Labs instead of residents. Aesthetically this guarantees a very consistent environment, where many new residents have found their first homes. Still, it has attracted some more experienced people too, especial [...]
Western Satori Waterway
Western Satori
Linden Department of Public Works is a program in Linden Labs focused on improvements related to the experience of living on or visiting the Linden mainland. It coordinated creation of Bay City, Nautilus, highways, railroad (in Heterocera Atoll), Blake Sea, Zindra and The Coastal Waterway, which is stillan ongoing project. The [...]
Buff Staysails TV-show
The AC circus is moving faster than any other sailing event I've ever heard of. Some people like it; Some people don't. In the latter category we find Vincenzo. Me, I still dunno what to think.
The new Sailrocket? E.T.'s dad? No, it's the AC45...
The editors at Scuttlebutt aren't quite sure what to think either. In a post called "Just what A [...]
Liv Leigh spotters get new facilities
Thanks to Tradewinds Yacht Club’s Tasha Kostolany, fanatic Liv Leigh spotters now can enjoy their own cabin. The simple wooden shed contains some information about Liv Leigh and a couple of warnings for the unknowing. A one metre tall fence offers the needed protection against sudden attacks.
The stand provides some information about L [...]
Sailing
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me...

The Long Haul
Part One: Introduction – a Second Life on the Ocean Waves.
It was over two years ago that I bought my first yacht, a WildWind RCJ-44. It was a very fast boat then, and is still one of the fastest (as well as being one of the easiest to sail) and remains one of my favourites. To be honest, it wasn’t my first boat, that distinct [...]
Boat talk
So - what's there to do in SL? I get that a lot from newbies and from people in the first world. Here's a few clues. There are millions of things to do, events to experience and sights to see, but the sailing just gets better and better. Dingies, small boats, big boats, AC multihulls... you name it, we got it.
Liv, Qyv and me talking boats.

Kanker day
The other day was Kanker day, - celebrating the invention of sailing in SL. This is really too geeky for my blog, but Kanker Greenacre built the first boat in SL, the Tako, and so the SL Sailing community marks this important day on the 16th of May.
Me looking at all the Takos at TYC
I was not around when the Tako was built - back in 20 [...]

We The Cats Shall Hep You
Hep?
Get with it, daddios. Hep is hipper than hip. It’s in the pocket. It’s straight from the fridge. It’s copacetic. It’s the new Trudeau HepCat, our Son of a Beach(cat). Reap this righteous riff, this is one crazy SOB.
Instructions:
Raise sails.
Hang the hell on to something!
Dig:
Flat ain’t where it’ [...]
Back to sailing
So Vincenzo Onorato backs out. It's really not a subject that fits on this blog, and then again... It is all about the sailing isn't it? Let's see what he said, Vincenzo:
Back to sailing, or is it too old-school?
"In our sport, men in blazer have overcome by now those in oilskins, I'm a man in oilskin and when I go in the sea, I want to win. [...]

Quest Q-2m
Q-2m in Blake Sea
Most of the boats, I usually sail are from the same line, but sometimes it’s good to try something new. Quest Q-2m is a quite fresh sailboat powered by BWind engine, which has its own special “touch”.
I would say, that the boat is surprisingly easy to sail, because there is a clear color indication helping [...]

ACA33 2011 CUP
This is the initial notice of the 2011 ACA CUP. This is a major event in Second Life sailing and therefore it requires a great deal of planning. The ACA CUP will be split into three distinct racing groups, and each will have a separate path to the finals.
The overall race officer for this race series will be ‘Hawk’ (LDeWell Hawker) He has ove [...]
Maritime Estates
I had a thought about what it means to be a maritime estate and deciding factors, other than price, for whether or not I would want to live there, based on what happened yesterday with Costa Rica.I took a look at the map on slurl.com and noted the pervasiveness of shallow water around the entire estate.There are some deep channels that have b [...]
The Dolphin Club Grand Opening
We held the grand opening at the Dolphin Club last evening! It was a huge success in that we had a great time dancing and partying! We had quite a few donations to the Bucketlist and the club and want to thank all those that contributed!
The Third Time. A Charm?
We at Trudeau are huge fans of the boats of the Herreshoff family. If it seems like every other boat that comes from our yard is in some way a tribute to either Captain Nat or his son L. Francis’ work, it’s probably because it is. Of course, the one design that is most approachable, perhaps the most endearing and enduring is Nat [...]
