Icabod, Don and Roan try out the new pedal boats available when there are no races.

Our first week of regular fun races continued tonight with another nice turn out. The new kid on the block tonight was  Chaos Mandlebrot who did pretty well for first time out. Jane Fossett was back and proved that even she sometimes has trouble with starboards rights. Grin. Don Berithos showed great improvement and Bolt Bashly won the second race impressively.

At the end Icabod Jones showed up. Nber showed Icabod, Don, and Roan our newest addition to Holly Kai Park (where the Pond is located). When races are not on there is a rezzer in the park to rezz cute two person pedal boats. We will likely add rollerskate or in-line skate rezzers as well. Check out the new park path surrounding the Pond.

We are adding docks so you can actually sail to the sim to watch the races. Don’t forget to bring a picnic blanket. The docks should be in place at both the west and east ends of the sims. They should be ready for the Saturday races at 4pm.

In association with Charlz Price who supported the video of the J-class with Jane.

We have put together a homage to the history of sailing in Second Life – Sail With Us! – from Takos to Big Cats to protests to Fizz and much much more – to be used to encourage people to sail in Second Life. You can stream it in world using this URL in your media parcel too – http://blip.tv/file/get/Surfwidow-ComeSailWithUs328.MP4 this is specifically crushed down to stream at 768kbs mp4 QT format in media parcels (like the BBC iPlayer format so most broadband connections in world can view it without it stuttering and sticking and choking their otherwise already overloaded connections speed just coping with Second Life textures as they move P

If you want to see higher quality you’ll have to pop over to YT and see it there in full at 480 format feel free to comment there too as well as here

I think we all need cheering up after what happened to Epi and this is a good way to do it.

It runs to a fast and exciting bombastic track and runs ‘at a pace’.

There are so many ‘Easter eggs’ in this video you may have to watch it a number of times but a few worth mentioning are of course some special ones

In particular

3mins 55 : Epicurus Emmons at 4mins 39 is Epi, me and Beejee at Fisher’s Island dancing Epi has the blue tshirt on over the white long sleeved undershirt he is in the center as always PXxx
and of course
Delinda Dyrssen and many other are in there dotted about.

To quote Charlz Price when he first saw it, “you really need to watch it 10 times to see it all!”

Sorry if we missed anyone but chances are you are still actually there as like the intro of the Simpsons I add this quick scene at 4mins 20 is just about every boat ever made in one aerial shot of the ‘grand protest sail’ at Hollywood so no complaints on that LOL. And you were probably at a parties or in a Tako somewhere too or in the crowd watching them P

Enjoy!

You may well need a lie down after watching this though! hahaha LOL.
