Rosie Papp and the Sailor's Cove Ferries

I'm Rosie Papp, and here is a little about me:

I live in Sailor's Cove and I operate the 103rd SL Can SAR or Canadian Search and Rescue Squadron in SecondLife. 103 SL Can SAR is loosely based on the 103 Canadian Search and Rescue Squadron posted in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada. Though we have no real life affiliation to Can SAR, we do our best to emulate their professional work here in the SecondLife medium.

Several months ago Fanci and Patrick, owners of Sailor's Cove, offered 103 SL Can SAR a chance to operate in the forty-four Sailor's Cove sims as Security. It was, and is still, our great pleasure to serve Sailor’s Cove, its residents and users in this capacity.


Sailor's Cove Ferry:

This led to the other ways I participate in the Sailor’s Cove life, and the introduction of the first Sailor’s Cove Ferry Tour located in Bull Rock Parcel A. I have always loved lighthouses and have found them enchanting. There is just something naturally romantic about the lone light house and its keeper out lighting the coast to save ships from fatal accidents and there is nothing as pretty as a lighthouse framed by a sunset.

Sailor's Cove has several historically accurate lighthouses within its borders that I took the time to research on the internet. I found the history of them so interesting that I felt it would be nice to share it with other residents and visitors to Sailor’s Cove. That’s how the first Ferry Tour boat was created. The second ferry boat came about later on when I rented some boat slips in Bartlett Narrows. I noted that traffic is often centered at the Theater and that few people explore the southern sims. The ferry seemed an interesting way to get people to see what Sailor’s Cove has to offer and to take people to the outdoor dance area below Bartlett Narrows.

The Theme for the Ferry was easy: everyone loved Captain Jack Sparrow. So I created Sailor’s Cove version of the Disney pirate.

Future Projects:

At the moment we are in the set-up and planning stage for a scuba diving sim in Sailor’s Cove. Its location will be announced when we are ready for the first dives.

Sailor’s Cove is my home and one of the most interesting and beautiful places in SecondLife and the little things I do to help make it special are just my way of thanking Sailor’s Cove, its residents and users for letting me be part of it all.
