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: Any specifics I need to cover first
BeeJee Boucher: 3 things i thjink
Epicurus Emmons: ehhhhm le tme thing
BeeJee Boucher: sailing, airport and connecting
Patrick Leavitt: The Big 3
Delinda Dyrssen: I was going to say something but go ahead Beeje
Jane Fossett: #4: Beej's bad spelling
Patrick Leavitt: Hi Hans
Epicurus Emmons: hi hans
You decline Milano Vera: Comune italiano di , Italia 4 Milano (32, 36, 651) from A group member named Jonnie Bamaisin.
BeeJee Boucher: no i just droped 3 things, youi just say your thoughtsd
Hans Zinnemann: heya all
Jane Fossett: HZ!
Patrick Leavitt: Lets start with the airport
Patrick Leavitt: it is just a thought I had since i like seaplanes
Patrick Leavitt: but it really is only a thought
BeeJee Boucher: i like the idea
Patrick Leavitt: nothing around residences and nothing any time soon
BeeJee Boucher: i have 2 seaplanes
Epicurus Emmons: ty for that info beejee
Hans Zinnemann: I fancy an airport
Patrick Leavitt: Beej is the seaplane coast guard
Delinda Dyrssen: can you give one to me Bejee I dont have one
Delinda Dyrssen: lol
Liv Leigh: does it fit into the theme of the area.. i mean waterplanes can be moored like boats
BeeJee Boucher: i think it good be a addition to sailing as long as it doesn interferve with sailing
Patrick Leavitt: THe thing with that is room around the estate and if we really want to commit that kind of resource to it
Patrick Leavitt: Exactly
Delinda Dyrssen: OK I havea techincal question
Patrick Leavitt: the problem too is that they are script heavy
Patrick Leavitt: and that would definalty hurt sailing
Patrick Leavitt: so its a low priorty and just a fun thought
Lisp Hax: /that was my question... impact on lag
Delinda Dyrssen: since its Sailing first.... whenm you fly say abovea certian altitude..dows it still cause lag on the surface?
BeauZeau Zhao: any word on the price of void sims dropping?
Patrick Leavitt: Yes
BeeJee Boucher: but justthinkin outloud
Lisp Hax: any script is going to affect the load on the sim
BeeJee Boucher: a one of race of some sort copuld be possible
Patrick Leavitt: sure, the scripts are all ontop of the parcel its over
BeeJee Boucher: if well organized
Patrick Leavitt: anyway
Patrick Leavitt: on to the second big one
Patrick Leavitt: COnnecting
Delinda Dyrssen: well.. I think if t here were a low amount of people using planes it wouldnt be a problem.. but if it were a public airport... we may get to many flyers
Lisp Hax: /cool the NIMBY argument already.
Lisp Hax: :)
Patrick Leavitt: I have to admit that I have not talked with anyone outside of Sailors Cove about the connecting since the blow up
Patrick Leavitt: I think everyone knows that i have always been interested in that
Contra Koba is Online
Patrick Leavitt: We just have some more things to discuss
BeeJee Boucher: im wondering what the big probloem is
Fearless Freenote: Hear hear
Patrick Leavitt: and we will
BeeJee Boucher: its just one sim
BeauZeau Zhao: hey fearless...
Patrick Leavitt: yes, it seems very simple
Fearless Freenote: yo BZ
Glida Pilote: I'm sure MTW is in favour
Patrick Leavitt: ok one thing for example
BeeJee Boucher: what politics are there that makes it seem so difiiclult
Yuu Nakamichi: phone, grtta

Surfwidow Beaumont: like the channel between Nantucket and Santa Cruz
Surfwidow Beaumont: :)
Mothgirl Dibou is Offline
Surfwidow Beaumont: doesnt have to be anything special
Liv Leigh: yes surf, and they stay 2 distinct areas
Fearless Freenote: I'll buy that void sim and put up a toll station
Liv Leigh: but people can sail around
Liv Leigh: if they want
Patrick Leavitt: is that we have a unique identity, I just wnat to make sure we keep that without being lost in the all encompassing USS banner
Delinda Dyrssen: I would pay a toll
Surfwidow Beaumont: maybe 2 void sims
Delinda Dyrssen: if it was reasonable
Surfwidow Beaumont: in a row to make it a clearly defined 'new territory boundary' :)
BeauZeau Zhao: you have to put fearless on the show
Patrick Leavitt: and to be honest MTW is very accomidating and interested in our relationship
Surfwidow Beaumont: 'new terriatory'
Liv Leigh: patrick.. in RL territories border to others
Surfwidow Beaumont: sp groan
Patrick Leavitt: I jsut want to be sure we are set here at home first
Liv Leigh: and they maintain it=dentity
BeeJee Boucher: im not afraid of our image as a sim
Surfwidow Beaumont: yeah
Liv Leigh: all you need to do is negotiate, make the connection work
Jane Fossett: with that introduction... Can you tell us the status of management negotiations with the SC partners?
Patrick Leavitt: Sure
Liv Leigh: you can have your own policies besides
BeeJee Boucher: but im a cruiser, i like lonmg distances to sail
Wendy Curtiss is Online

Patrick Leavitt: alot of the delay was my lawyer catching up
Patrick Leavitt: they should have received a letter this week
Patrick Leavitt: and the negotiations go on
Patrick Leavitt: just to be clear
Patrick Leavitt: Those negotiations are for their settlement to send them on their way
Patrick Leavitt: I look around and sail around and see their handy work
Fearless Freenote: Are you planning on any more void sims?
Patrick Leavitt: They will be compensated fairly
Patrick Leavitt: Fearless yes we do have plans for more voids

Liv Leigh: is an LL issue
Jane Fossett: Epi??? I sent you a note about fixing the marks?
Liv Leigh: not an SC one
Surfwidow Beaumont: i think the sky markers discs used in the ACA wre a very good idea
Patrick Leavitt: that some of the new sims were located in Texas while the rest of the older ones are in San Francisco
Patrick Leavitt: We are requesting all of them to be in one location
Jane Fossett: np Patrick...
Surfwidow Beaumont: were*
Jane Fossett: no... this is a mark issue
Liv Leigh: well.. i just hope the new marks are better visible. i only found them beack because i knew all courses

Penny's AO: Couldn't find animation *Luth* Rockabilly 04 Mens
BeeJee Boucher: u suggest that will be check asap

Liv Leigh: i was sailing blind
Alain Gloster: not yet..we were racing on them an hour ago
Liv Leigh: they rezzed at 20 m on a 15m/s boat
Yuu Nakamichi: do you think this will improve sim corssing, PL?
Patrick Leavitt: Hans how did the races go today?
Jane Fossett: PL? Will you fix the marks? it takes 6 prim, 5 minutes.
Alain Gloster: still pretty laggy with the mud effect
Epicurus Emmons: Yes Jane I went for the MTW solution for now and rezzed linked transparant prims under the bouys. terraforming a small reef under them might also happen in time
Hans Zinnemann: The 3 racers really enjoyed them but they said there was some bad conditions
Jane Fossett: k.
Jane Fossett: Fizz cup is next week.
Liv Leigh: yes but if i take svar s blackett strait solution
Patrick Leavitt: I'm sorry Jane We will do whatever needs to be done to get right

Liv Leigh: i steer towards the underwater hill
Jane Fossett: terraform under them
Jane Fossett: you will see them on the mini map

Patrick Leavitt: Good question Del
BeeJee Boucher: yaya
BeeJee Boucher: YAY! (yay!)
Surfwidow Beaumont: thats why void sims are so important
Patrick Leavitt: Tell you what, Epi and I will look at that. but I'm a little nervous at the moment of to many owners in a group

Surfwidow Beaumont: :0)
Patrick Leavitt: but that is a good question
Delinda Dyrssen: ok ty

Surfwidow Beaumont: maybe a linden concierge chap could come and fix that
Surfwidow Beaumont: just seems a small thing that could improve the clubs potential
Patrick Leavitt: Is that linden monitor still set up in Fishers Island?
Epicurus Emmons: Its a estate management thing
Patrick Leavitt: IT is the weirdest thing
Yuu Nakamichi: are they happy to put all SC sims into either SF or Dallas then PL?
Jane Fossett: For COM: When you met with the community a few weeks ago, you said that you had reached agreement to sell you interest in Sailors Cove to Tasha and Iza, but you didnt trust them to follow through with the deal. Can you assure us you will still be the owner of SC in thethe future?
Surfwidow Beaumont: A linden could probably say what is slowing down that rezzing
Lila Sideways is Online

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.

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.

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!
