The Sailors’ Cove complex of 31 sims is about to join the United Sailing Sims of Second Life. The move will expand the USS-SL to 125 regions. The connection will take place when Union Passage region is dropped in north of Osprey Reef and east of Bulia.
The new sim, an open space sim, will be owned by MarkTwain White and Nber Medici. The sim is designed to facilitate not only race passage but a very pleasant passage area for cruisers going between the Sailor’s Cove portion of the USS-SL and the Southern USS-SL sims.
Even more exciting is that the entire 125 sim complex will be moved by LL to a new open portion of the grid where we will have room to expand.
The move could happen in a matter of a few days. We cannot say at this point just when the connection will be made. Plans are afoot for a grand boat parade thru most of the yacht club areas of the complex on Saturday June 28. More on that later. For now, Starboards Yacht Club is hosting a meeting tomorrow night to plan other events over the next several days as we celebrate this union. All clubs and SL sailing leaders are invited to send representatives to the meeting to brainstorm celebration ideas. The meeting will be at 7pm Thursday, June 19 at the Lounge in SYC.

Grazie Amici, am so happy for this news!

Good News thats its happened rationally
Now we can finally do proper clipper runs (all downwind)
11 Liv Leigh // Jun 19, 2008 at 5:29 am
Well.. let’s step over all the politics and all enjoy the new cruising and racing possibilities this will generate.
This is more than ‘31 sims added’, it’s an expansion of the world for many sailors.
12 jacqueline trudeau // Jun 19, 2008 at 6:47 am
Yay! I’ll never have to sail the mainland again! Well.. maybe… from time to time
13 MarkTwain White // Jun 19, 2008 at 7:17 am
Leave it to Liv to add a negative spin on it.
14 Tory Micheline // Jun 19, 2008 at 8:06 am
Pack your coolers and make sure you have enough rations for those l o n g
voyages.
MarkTwain White - This might create the need for a full length feature on SL Sailing !
Congratulations Nber and MTW Well done!!
15 MarkTwain White // Jun 19, 2008 at 8:11 am
MTW Productions Announces it is accepting scripts for a feature length film set in the USS-SL. Auditions to follow at the appropriate time.
16 Nber Medici // Jun 19, 2008 at 8:13 am
Hi Delinda, let’s talk in-world about your options for supporting tier

Hey :/
I mean really HEY!!!
What’s wrong with mainland? From what I hear the water is faster and the weather is better overall.
And mainland has more open water sims than USS
Haha, take that :)))
18 Jacqueline Trudeau // Jun 19, 2008 at 11:53 am
No knock meant on the mainland, Orca
But you do have to admit the challenges are manifold for extended cruising - banlines, no script parcels just for starters
19 Vin Mariani // Jun 19, 2008 at 5:28 pm
Well, I know that many people have just signed in to say “HOORAY!”, but I just want to sign in and say “HOORAY!” too.
HOORAY!
Hmmm. Didn’t do it for me.
HOORAY! HOORAY! HOORAY! HOORAY!
There.
Can’t wait to sail over and visit with friends.
20 Patrick Leavitt // Jun 19, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Good Call Vin!
I too am looking forward to a nice long sail and visiting my friends and neighbors to the East. It’s a dream realized all for the love of sailing.
I add my HOORAY as well!
21 Taku Raymaker // Jun 19, 2008 at 8:05 pm

22 Orca Flotta // Jun 20, 2008 at 2:26 am
Okay, next task:

23 Kestrel Fisseux // Jun 21, 2008 at 7:32 am
