the TSS Shipyard recently released a new gunboat. A very nice one, and I almost immediately got one.
Here is an image of her maiden voyage in the Blake Sea.
I have not decided about a name yet, but it might be the Red Star :)
I'll keep you informed

the Mechanical Toys Factory's Oldtimers Race
After a failed attempt last month, because of my flu, Lord Lisle succeded getting em involved in the Oldtimers Race organized by the people of Mechanical Toy Factory.
Well, I did NOT performed great : out of 8 people entering the race, 6 made into the final and I was not among them, still it was a great fun. I started practicing just a few hours before the race so, I guess, I may be excused for a not too brilliant performance :)
The cars were provided by the organization and they were a really great toy. I think I'll buy one, even if I still prefer sailing ;)
Here is the podium of the race and a group shot.
There will be probably a new race next month
See you there ! :)

Circumnavigating the Realms
Sailing around the Landmasses of Winterfell and Caledon has always been a favourite activity of mine, since my very first days in SL.
I had not done it recently, so yesterday I decided to have a look around. I left the fleet home port of Eventide aboard the North Star (used to have a different name but I decided to reserve the old one for another boat being built these days) and I moved south. I sailed through Illyria and Libris, reached Absinthe and crossed the Nepenthe Gate heading into Caledon.
I followed a classical route, west of Cape Wrath and Brigadoon and then into Morgaine to cross into the firth. From there I continued West and South until I reached Oxbridge. From there I headed to New Brunswick, where I stopped for the night.
The following morning I completed the trip following the external eastern border of Caledon, and I turned back north, until I crossed back into Winterfell and through Anodyne and Sanctuary I was back at Eventide.
One can experience some interesting meetings while travelling, in Caledon, like Nessie, cought in this image :)
I must say that not all the areas of Caledon are very much sailing friendly. maybe the Guvnah should be petitioned to do something about it.
Anyway .. the trip was fun as usual and it is surely worth to be repeated over and over again !
Fair Winds !

the Raglan Shire Film Festival
Yesterday I tinified and I headed to Raglan Shire, to attend the Raglan Shire Film Festival !
They were more than two hours of great fun, with more then 10 machinima shorts, conceived, directed and performed by enthusiastic tinies.
The public went crazy, which is not surprising, being made mostly by tinies :) , but they had all the reasons to , because it was a great show. Here are some more images from the event :
and last but not least, here the award winning "I love Awen Show", by the gifted Bloodsong Tergamant, and starring my friend Awenbunny Lisle !
You can access the full list of movies and links from the Raglan Shire Community Pages
Have Fun !
