taking the Hunting Star to New Babbage

after some thinking and some testing of the sailing field I decided to take the Hunting Star (the TSS Brigg) to New Babbage, for the Fleet Week.

ready for departure

The Battlestar (SPD Frigate) would have looked better, but she is too challenging to sail in such a narrow field

Here are two images of myself on the deck ready to take the ship from Winterfell to New Babbage.

Exhibit at Venetia Landing

I have been invited to display some of my images at Venetia Landing in Winterfell Reverie.
Miss Tracy Yiyuan and Miss Midnyte DeCuir have been so kind to wish me to display my photos in their truly beautiful portion of Winterfell.



I happily agreed and I setup some of my images on a lovely spot in the middle of the area.




You can read more information about the exhibit in the online Visitors' Guide. and it will be open until Christmas.

A new stage in my sailing tour

After quite a while I sailed a new stage of my circumnavigation of Gaeta, Corsica and Nautilus. I had last moored the Star of Faeria in the sim of Gumtree, on the western shores of Gaeta, and it was time to cross the channel liniing the two continents, back into Corsica waters.

Here is me after just entering the channel and just before meeting some other long distance sailors who were pursuing the same route.

And here is the Star of Faeria back in Corsica waters, in front of the impressive yachts on display at Star Bay Yachts.

Sailing along the Northern Coast of the Corsica Continent

The north eastern coast of Corsica is quite nice,  well kept, with some lovely shore where woods reach the beaches and some impressive and nicely made buildings

It looks like that for some the Christmas Season has started already :)

Sailing along the Northern Coast of the Corsica Continent

The target of this rather short stage was the sim of Esterhal, home of the Dumpling's Country Club, where I spend a good amount of my Saturday afternoons with the lovely soundtrack of DJ Rosa

I was lucky enough to find a place where I could rezz just nearby, so I did not have to look for too long a place where to moor the boat. Despite being oftern at Dumpling's I had never looked at the area closely and I was surprised to realize that this is quite a developed pirate area, with many vessels and even a ghost ship!

Next stage, Borgenite, once home of HRH Princess Ivory and Master Peck.

See you soon
