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
