Another Beautiful Sunset In Sailors Cove.

It sure is a pleasurable thing to be cruising around the waters of Sailors Cove and every once and a while a beautiful moment like this takes place. The beauty of the area is sure evident when a nice sunset shows up behind our own Race Rock lighthouse.
The sailing is pleasurable but this time Fanci and I were enjoying a nice cruise in one of Juli Gothly's pleasure crafts (Elise Speed Eight). It is a pleasure to cruise and is a great build.

If you have any great pictures or moments in the waters of Sailors Cove let us know and lets put them here.

IMPORTANT USS ANNOUNCEMENT

To all friends of Sailors Cove,

All of the owners of the USS are making an announcement that is unprecedented. We have been discussing a project that Jack Linden and Linden Labs has been thinking about for a while now. That being, setting up a joint large area of open water, a virtual Ocean, off of their new Nautilus Sims. They have made the offer to us to move and reconfigure the entire USS to fit into the area around there. We would in essence be connected to Mainland by water but all of the different Estates will retain their independent status. So we get the cake and eat it too:).

The detail is simply that LL will set up a 6x6 grid of water plus a finger of water to the East side of the ocean grid. This body of water will be Governor Linden water and will connect to the mainland. We have all been hashing over different possibilities of how to make this work for our different estates. We will try to get a map out to you so that you can see the configuration since describing it here is very daunting

We have been very vocal on all of our concerns in this endeavor and raised a lot of questions in light of all that has happened recently. All of the owners, met with Jack Linden to discuss this project in voice. In short, that meeting put to rest a lot of fear and concern about it. He is genuinely excited about it and the possibilities it brings to both parties. It also brings to the mix some stability for the USS as well. The land prices for mainland have remained stable through all of this Open Space fiasco. That stability will help Sailors Cove remain independent and get land values back on a positive growth. Plus, the sailing and flying possibilities are endless now. There is also a simple fact that Mainland supports the majority of the users in SL. This means more opportunity for growth of sailing.

Fanci and I have been working hard for Sailors Cove and your investment. We will try to answer all of your questions about all of the things going on. Please us our emails too: patrick.leavitt@gmail.com, and fanci.beebe@gmail.com.


OFFICIAL USS ANNOUCEMENT.

USS Announcement of Great Import
December 19th, 2008

The United Sailing Sims announces a joint community project with Linden Lab to enhance the sailing experience throughout Second Life. Once the move of the 130 plus sim complex takes place to an area east of Nautilus City, the USS will be well positioned to expand their current activities into the 40 plus sims of the about to be formed Blake Sea(named for Sir Peter Blake, the legendary racer and marine environmentalist).

From sailboat racing, to scuba diving, to surfing, to long range cruising, the areas around Nautilus, Blake Sea, and the United Sailing Sims will provide Second Life Residents with unparalleled recreational possibilities. In addition the USS leadership will work with Linden Lab to enhance water based activities across the entire Grid.

Linden Lab states in their formal announcement that “this is the first time that we’ve allowed estates to connect to the Mainland in this way, and it is testimony to both the great community the USS has built up, and our desire to work with resident groups to improve the Mainland experience.”

The actual move will take place in the weeks ahead.

Look for regular updates to the project in the pages of unitedsailingsims.com. The USS press contact is MarkTwain White (marktwainwhite@gmail.com). Mark will hold a town meeting at 9am on Saturday at the USS Headquaters located on the second floor of the Starboards Yacht Club.

Aurora Base featured in Article

The latest addition of TELEPORT magazine (Autumn 2008) has a great article about Grand Manan Island and the Aurora Base. Our own Moonshade Pastorelli did an interview with Fanci and I and really did a nice job on this write up. This issue has some other great articles in it including a bit about Holly Kai and Golf and the SOS protest. Be sure and get your copy at the Kiosks we have around. They are at the Yacht Club, the Real Estate office in Fishers Island, Cutwater Marina, and Aurora Bast. Its very good reading. Besides Fanci and I look in the photo. hehehe

Autumn Big Cat Cup Awards

Congrats To Skipper for Winning the latest Big Cat Cup.
Congratulations to Skipper Nikolaidis who after taking home medals in all previous five cups has finally won himself the Big Cat Cup. he has been without a doubt the most committed cat skipper. He has taken part in virtually every race there has ever been 159 total. Its a pleasure to announce that Skipper was the winner of this years race.
Congrats Dude!

Big Cat Cup and Some photos

What a great time it is watching the Racing in Sailors Cove. Recently, on day 6 of the Big Cat Cup I managed to take a few shots. This one is Skipper cruising North on the return to Zinnemann Island after the Southern most turn on the Z2 coarse.
The Big Cats can move so fast with an experienced skipper at the helm its hard to get into position for a photo when they shoot on by. This one is Skipper and Kei flying by in Cut Water Marina. The current top three racers are all so close together that the the winner is to close to call. Come check it out at Noon on Zinnemann island.

The sailor with the least total points wins the cup at the end of the series.

Grand Opening of New Sims!!

New Sims and Theme

NEW THEME AND SEAPLANE BASE

In order to keep up with the growing interest in Seaplanes we have added two more sims to the Estate. Bull Rock and Grand Manan Island. GMI is the beginning of the new North Woods/Newfoundland theme. This new area is still very similar to New England but will be a harsher environment. More rugged on the water line and yet more lush and more trees in the interior. It is also colder so the season changes should hit there first as it works its way down.

Located on GMI is a Seaplane base called Aurora Base. There are docks here that are wider for the planes as well as some cottages for rent. Plus, a hanger and Terminal as the centerpiece of the island. The Terminal will have a viewing / control tower and should have a great view.

In Bull Rock we have added a new feature for those who like live aboards. We have mooring buoys available and several of them are parceled as well.

As we expand the new theme into more residential, we have added that in the this North Woods/Newfoundland theme seaplanes and helicopters will be allowed on residential land. There are some size restraints of the aircraft and of coarse the usual keeping the passages clear for sailing.

Sailors Cove is still a sailing first community and have not changed from our commitment to that. This new theme helps to address the fact that many landowners desire to have a plane left out. The current two themes do not permit that.

Sailors Cove is on the move again and the future looks exciting.

Welcome to the German Sailing Community

Wilkommen!! to the German Ship Rats!

Our dear friend and long time resident Jeremia Spotter has purchased the lovely tropical island of Tiga as a home position for the German SL Sailing community called the Schiffsratten.

The Ships Rats have been involved in sailing in the Sailors Cove/USS Sims and Jeremia tells us that "during the last weeks and month more and more of us found their 'home waters' here on the USS-sims and feel as a part of them. A lot of us have fun to take part on regatta's on plum gut or manning, or sailing the zinnemann ladder."

Theater is Ready for Reopening!

Hello from Sesi Ackland! As Jojamela mentioned in the previous post I have recently taken over the theater at Sailors Cove. I've been involved in Second Life music from every angle as the rl and sl wife of SL musician, Winston Ackland. I am the manager of Winston and Linus Radford in Second Life and have helped organize and plan several large charity events, weekend long music festivals and other events in SL. Stepping up as venue manager was a natural progression and I couldn't imagine a better stage to manage then Sailors Cove.

Sailors Cove has always been a very well known and respected stage within Second Life's music community and when Jojamela's plans to find a new manager became public, I immediately volunteered. The idea of Sailors stage suffering and/or eventually disappearing like so many wonderful stages do in SL was a sad one. I am honored to step up and take over, my goal is to do everything I can to maintain Sailor Cove's position as one of the finest stages in SL.

I look forward to returning the venue into a busy place and I am well under way, our first show is Monday August 11th, 12pm slt. Very little will change at Sailors Cove, there simply is no need. A few of the regular musicians will return but of course there will be new faces and talent as well. I suspect that within a few weeks, the stage will be alive and kicking.

This fall I am planning a few bigger events, including Art in Park, a fall festival with two of the most talented and popular artists in Second Life and of course, live music.

Please follow the calendar and notices for updates on all the Sailors Cove Theater events.

Sailors Cove Theater New Manager

I'm very pleased to announce that Sesi Ackland has agreed to assume the role of Sailors Cove Theater Manager. Many of you know that I've had some RL issues that have prevented me from being inworld much these days, especially the month of July where I took a holiday.

RL continues to interfere in my SL endeavors and Sesi has volunteered to step up to the podium and take over management. Sesi will be the contact person for scheduling musicians and events at the Theater property.

The theater is changing to a tips only venue, so your continued wonderful support of Live Music in SL is very much appreciated. Be sure and check the calendar for upcoming shows and come enjoy the best live music that SL has to offer.

Jamm for Genes at SC theater was a great success

Jamm for Genes went off as planned on Friday Aug 1 with few changes in the lineup of live artists for the 24 hours as planned and ended up stretching to 26 hours in total with a grand total amount of $612,482Lindens raised. Jamm for Genes SL 2008 is now officially over however if you would like to donate to Jamm for Genes which is still going on in the real world as of this posting you can go to the Jeans for Genes website

A huge thank you and group hug to all the artists, volunteers and our sponsors Music Academy Online, Sleepy Engineers, and of Course.. Sailors Cove Theater. And a special thank you to the Sailors Cove community who helped to make this happen. I could not upload a pic here for some reason... Ill try again later.

Settlement Announcement and Public Statement

July 14, 2008: Sailor’s Cove, Second Life.
Patrick Leavitt (Leavitt), Izabella Bentham (Bentham), and Tasha Kostolany (Kostolany) are pleased to announce that they have amicably settled all matters and disputes concerning the Second Life regions known as and making up Sailor’s Cove. Leavitt, Bentham, and Kostolany each regret the recent discord between them, the public displays that transpired, and the effect this may have caused to the residents of Sailor’s Cove.

Despite any previous statements, publications or references of any kind by any of the parties, any inferences, allegations or other suggestions that any of the parties engaged in any misconduct whatsoever with respect to the proper care and disposition of Sailor’s Cove funds, or conducted themselves in such a way as to imply, infer, suggest or otherwise allege that Leavitt, Bentham or Kostolany engaged in any wrongdoing with respect to the management of Sailor’s Cove, let it be known that all parties retract, withdraw and otherwise disclaim any and all such statements. Further, all of the parties recognize that any disparaging remarks that may have been made were solely borne of the frustrations of the moment and apologize to each other for any suggestion that may have cast doubt on the other’s integrity. Leavitt, Bentham and Kostolany also sincerely apologize to all of the good residents and users of Sailor’s Cove for any imposition this now settled controversy may have caused.

Bentham and Kostolany have spent thousands of hours over the past year and half to make Sailor’s Cove the best sailing region in Second Life. In recognition of their hard work, Leavitt has compensated Bentham and Kostolany for their contributions to Sailor’s Cove, and Bentham and Kostolany have decided to pursue other opportunities within Second Life. Effective immediately, Bentham and Kostolany are no longer associated with Sailor’s Cove Management, and Leavitt wishes them well in their future endeavors.

The Big Move

To all the residents of Sailors Cove Sims. So much is happening so fast these days. I felt compelled to point out that during the move the map will take a day before it finds us. The following is a message from Maggie Linden about it. "This move will likely occur in the late evening Pacific time; the map will take a day or so to update to the new grid location for the regions, so please let your residents know that they may wish to make landmarks to access the regions during the 1 day map inaccessibility. (Landmarks , "Home" locations, and land accessible through 'My Land' will all still work fine.)" ~ Maggie Linden

So, hold on for the ride!

Patrick

Skutsjesilen hits Sailors Cove Sims

At the moment a lot of SC residents and top sailors are getting hooked up by a new sailing boat the Green Turtle Tjalk or Skutsje. The racing in this boat, that started under FIYC flag, is rapidly becoming a racing class of its own. 

The Skutsje is a traditional sailing barge form the Netherlands, with twin leeboards rather than a fixed keel or centerboard. Outside of the Netherlands, you'll often hear these boats referred to simply as a "Dutch Barge" This type of craft has a long racing history in the Netherlands that continues to the present day with the annual Skutsjesilen regatta held in Friesland.

Every friday 11.30 am slt there is a skutsjesilen race from the Plum Gut start line using the FY05 course. There you can witness the sailing of Delinda Dyrssen, BeeJee Boucher, ahjep Kattun, Epicurus Emmons among others. Delinda was recently awarded the title of Queen of Skutsje for winning the first two races. 

Sunday Many 18th 10 am slt a new exciting development took place. Skutsjesilen racing was live broadcasted on Sail On TV. We used the Balboa course, starting at the Hollywood start line in the USS. Twelve Skutsje sailors showed up, and our own SC resident ahjep Kattun won the racing. You can watch the show here: http://slcn.tv/sailon

If you want to keep informed on developments please become member of the group Skutsjesilen, its open enrollment.

Miss Fizz 2008

Sailors Cove Theater and the Fishers Island Yacht Club is pleased to present the first annual Miss Fizz beauty pageant at 2pm SLT at the Theater. We have some lovely contestants and great judges. The stage is set and we hope everyone can join us for what we hope will be a lot of fun.

At 7pm SLT the Fishers Island Yacht Club will be hosting the Miss Fizz formal dance at the clubhouse on Anchor Cove. This will be a formal affair with DJ Midnight Capalini providing us some lovely romantic tunes to dance the night away.

FIYC phenix arrises

Fishers Island Yacht Club has literally risen from its ashes. After a clubhouse half destroyed, two Race Directors leaving there post, and a skeptical sailing community, things looked very gloomy indeed. 

But so often under hardship, the best in people and human relations tend to surface. Somehow a miracle took place. We rebuild the clubhouse to the level of a SL monument, redesigned sailing-courses, communicated with the sailing community, appointed officers, made FIYC club cloth, re-established winners row, appointed volunteers to the post of Race Direct

or and established a nice spread of sailing events over the week. We are doing races and many events in the Fizz-cup and of course we still sponsor the Big Cat Cup.

And when i see how much work everybody puts into this to make it happen and in what good spirit we work together as a team 

or more like a family, it makes me proud and emotional.  Its just unbelievable! A community has been liberated and is now on

 it road to glory, just wait, you haven't seen anything yet!

Important update on SL Blog

Important update from the SL Blog site regarding updates to the servers affecting water voids (openspace regions) hopefully this will fix some major issues with sailing lately:

After a few unsuccessful attempts to deploy server version 1.21, we’ve decided to split this into two separate deploys. First, we will deploy a patched version of Server version 1.20. This will include security and performance fixes, including the much-desired reduction memory usage by the physics engine in openspace regions. The plan for this deploy is:

• Thursday 04/17, starting very soon : deploy the 1.20 patches to about 100 regions. Assuming all is well, deploy the 1.20 patches to about 1500 regions.
• Friday morning 04/18, 5-9AM: deploy 1.20 patches to half of Second Life
• Saturday morning 04/18, 5-9AM: deploy 1.20 patches to the rest of Second Life

Patrick Leavitt to meet with FIYC Members

Patrick Leavitt is the owner of the Sailor’s Cove/ Lawson Landing Estate; he is also Commodore of the new Fisher’s Island Yacht Club (FIYC) in Anchor Cove.

Since some sailors may wish to speak directly with Patrick, he is planning to be at FIYC today, Thursday April 17, at 1:00p.m. SLT. Patrick will talk about his vision for the new yacht club and Sailor’s Cove Estate, and he will address any questions or concerns that sailors wish to discuss.

Space Invasion?

Space Invasion?, originally uploaded by Jojamela Soon.

Fanci and I were out cruising around and found this strange object on Sailors cove right behind the park. Come to find out it's a performance test put out by LL to check sim performance.

Last night during Patrick LaSalle's concert Sailors Cove went down for a long time. Patrick Leavitt called LL and they said that the server was having hard disk problems. I guess they set this out to monitor. This is what the profile of the object owner said:

This account is used by Linden Lab to perform timing and reliability tests on the main grid for various actions such as teleporting and wearing attachments. It is an automated system that will not respond to chat or IM. Statistics collected are used to monitor and improve system performance.

It's kinda cool when you think about it... nice to know that sim performance is being monitored by the LL gods :)

FIYC Meeting Held at Clubhouse

Meeting, originally uploaded by Jojamela Soon.

Epicurius Emmons called a meeting today at the FIYC for all sailors to introduce the management of the new FIYC and plans for the future.

A transcript of the meeting can be found on the SLSailing.com website for all interested.

New Club House

What a celebration. The new Fishers Island Clubhouse grand opening party last night was a wonderful success. We packed the sim with residents and guests and the compliments flew. Drwydyn Tyne had created the most realistic and beautiful home for the new Fishers Island Yacht Club. As a special treat Heath Elvehjem performed a few tunes for us on his piano, Patrick Leavitt toasted Drw and the community and officially opened the building to the public.

The building has many built in features. There is a handbook listing the features, how to use them and credits in the entrance foyer. It is in the magazine rack just to the right as you enter the doorway. Be sure to pick one up when you visit.

Construction complete

the new Clubhouse, originally uploaded by Jojamela Soon.

For the past few weeks construction on the FIYC clubhouse has been in progress. Few people have received sneak peeks at it and late late last night it was placed on the ground at it's new location on Anchor Cove (right across from the old clubhouse)

Built and furnished by Drwwyndn Tyne, it is a delight to the eyes, realistic to the extreme and has some fantastic features that are sure to please.

Havok4 raising havok with sailing

Races are being canceled all over the place because of a serious bug that has come to be due to the Havok4 server upgrades. The sailing community is asking that everyone vote for this JIRA issue to have Linden Labs fix it as soon as possible. To vote you only need to login to the JIRA website using your SL name and password.

You can also read more about he issue that is causing boats to come to a dead stop on the SLSF Forum.

SCS Blog Evolves and We Need You!

I am in the process of adding new content to the blog that I hope you find useful and informative. This blog is very new and will evolve over time for sure. We will be adding links to residents and merchants blogs and websites, listings of land for sale, a link to display race winners and plenty more. If you want us to link to you please do let me know.

On the sidebar you will now see a link to our new Flickr photo stream which you can also access here. When you see the photographs all in one place it is a reminder of how incredibly wonderful it is to live and play in the Sailors Cove Sims. So please join the open access group on Flickr and upload pictures of your home, your friends, your boat or whatever you like! Please do keep it pg though. ;)

The Sailors Cove Sims community is so big and there is so much going on all the time it is hard to keep up, no? I know i feel that way. We have added a calendar to the right that will help you know what is coming up so check back often. If you have an event you would like to include on the calendar please let me know and we will do our best to inform the community via this blog.

If anyone is interested in adding to the Sailors Cove Sims blog please let me know. We could definitely use some volunteers. If you have never blogged before but are interested in learning how this may be the perfect low stress way to explore the wonderful world of blogging. Trust me if i can do this so can you and I am happy to help you get started. If you are an experienced blogger -- what are you waiting for? Let's talk please?! Of course if you are not a writer but have an idea about something you would like to see here just send me a note and I will do my best to make it happen.

Rule number one of blogging (according to me and me alone) is all blog posts should have a picture. So here for your viewing pleasure is a photograph from the very talented Patadx Pessoa.


Doesn't that photo just make you want to head out and raise your sails? I know that is what I am going to do right now. Cheers y'all!

Theater Back open for business

Back open for business, originally uploaded by Jojamela Soon.

After a week off, and still under construction, the Sailors Cove Theater opened back up for three hours of Live Music concerts. The evening started off at 7pm with the musical comedian Vaughan Michalak, followed by Truelie Telling at 8pm and Wendy Curtiss with Lonnie Rockett at 9pm. It was really great to see so many of our Sailors Cove residents there and i hope everyone had a good time.

spring....rebirth...new beginnings..

in the part of the world where i live it is spring. the snowdrops are poking out from under the mulch and the sun finally feels warm.

spring is the season of rebirth and the members of the sailors cove sims are in the process of rebuilding and strengthening our community. the future looks bright as we come together and build new friendships.


Jojamela has asked me to be the administrator for this new Sailors Cove Sims blog and I am pleased to take on the task. However, I want this to be the community's blog. We will have events and community news posted here for sure. What do you want to see in the blog? Do you have a blog or webpage you would like us to link to here? Please let me know either by commenting or finding me inworld. I live on Fishers Island so come by, im or email me.

Don't be shy! This is your community and your blog. Dive in.

One more thing. The change in the season can only mean one thing -- that is right -- its the start of the sailing season! Get out on the water and enjoy.
