They are lining up in Osprey Reef and Bulia sims for the anticipated opening of Union Passage connecting the western and southern USS-SL. Photos in Bulia this morning show a growing tent city of skippers itching to be the first to cross the border. Likewise skippers in Osprey Reef are toeing the start line.
It’s understandable given the rewards at stake. MarkTwain White has declared that he will pay 5000L and give a special commemorative certificate to the first skipper who sails from from either direction across the sim, around Union Rock (just like the Passages Rocks in the USS-SL).
To win you must rezz a boat in Bulia or in Osprey Reef, raise sail in said sim, sail across the border, round Union Rock on it’s north side and cross the other border and moor. The deed must be proven to the satisfaction of MarkTwain White. It can be in the form of a witness in the SL Sailing community, in the form of photographs, or with a substancial bribe.
Those who can be confirmed as hanging out near the borders in anticipation of the opening will be given free T-shirts commemorating their participation. Just send MTW a photo of your rezzed boat at the border any time between now and the time of the appearance of Union Passage to get on the list for your special T-shirt.

I’m there right now and I’ve brought the fastest boat from my inventory. I may fall asleep though waiting for that sim to appear

In the spirit of the Occasion, I ‘d like to match the 5,000L put up by Mark to make the pot $10,000 L. Now there is twice as much incentive to be the first confirmed across and around Union Rock.
So, put the coffee on (or stock the cooler very well) and stake your spot while you can!

Yuu Nakamichi won Jacqi…and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer fellow (unless of course it was me). Seriously as with anything the end result wasn’t the real prize. The journey of the camp and the fellowship brought to it by so many great people was for me worth far more than a pocketful of Linden Love. Everyone is a winner on that score.
