the tour of the Corsica Continent

Today I have started the next stage of my Grand Sailing Tour of the SL continents: the tour of the Corsica sim.



As mentioned in a previous post I have sailed already from the Blake Sea to the north of the Nautilus Continent and up to shores of Corsica. Today I have started where I had left, in the Kinrara sim, and I sailed along the southern shores of the continent until I reached the Elsewhere Harbour, in the sim of Majipoor where Yezdia and Cashew have their home, and I moored the boat on their beach.

The navigation has been smooth enough with the possible exception of two tricky points entering the Silver Serpent sim , where the water is narrow and shallow, and in the Majistral sim where most ways are obstructed by prims and ban lines and I had to loop back on the southern edge, where I found protected water and I could pass.

Optiman, just south of Majipoor was also a problem because it looked open water on the map and instead a big mall has been buit on the water. But it was rather wasy to go around it.

Here are a few images from the trip :

I am getting ready for the next stage and I'll be underway soon. The plan is to loop around the continent and maybe even into Gaeta if I find an open passage

Until then ...

yours truly
