Great idea, Quecay!
Perhaps some of those not wishing to sail would volunteer to take pictures.
Are you going to be competing? Among other things, I'm looking forward to seeing you in one of your new outfits 
If Captain Zeffirelli accepts your challenge, I would be please to make the arrangements, Mercury!
Bail out your boat - We're having another race!
This Sunday, April 13th so you still have time to get in some practice.
The course is already marked with the start/end near the Library in Aquitaine Coeur Nord at: Shared Seas Race Start/Finish
After the race, we'll be celebrating our victories & drowning our sorrows at the Languedoc Tavern .
Check out SL Sailing Pro Tips: A Lighthearted Look at Second Life Sailing for tips & tricks specific to the course.
The Navigator challenge is an way to become familiar with the course hazards.
The race will be run in heats of no more than 5 boats. If you have a preference for heat #1, #2 or #3 please post here with that preference so that I can coordinate the list. First come, first served!
May you have fair winds & following seas!!

It's true, Aldo! The dogs were helpful according to their personalities.
Lacy, the German Shepherd, inspected every tradesperson that came in to insure they were trustworthy and then kept a continual eye on them to make sure they weren't going to cause problems.
Karma, the Sheltie, was more welcoming & made friends with everyone.
Buffy, the Poodle, was more interested in the design details. I had the feeling that she was accessing every change to make sure it was worthy of her princess status 
You raise an excellent point about a entity staying alive through change, I couldn't agree more
I love the idea of you sharing your account. I know that some people do it in the form of letters to one another etc. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
Also, you don't have to lose Hugo's content. I can just "suspend" the account which will keep the content intact. If you would like to go that route, give me a shout when you are ready.
Thanks!
LOL - Guess I can cancel my virtual moving truck
And to go with that information: Black death was not spread by rat fleas, say researchers
Evidence from skulls in east London shows plague had to have been airborne to spread so quickly
It's Spring!! It's Spring!! After a particularly trying Canadian winter I'm more than ready for this season of renewal and since Mother Nature still hasn't gotten the spring memo for my neck-of-the-woods I'm expending my new found energy on a much needed blog cleaning.
Truth be told, I really enjoy this creative process and so I thought I would share some of my enthusiasm.
First off, I'm really not talking about the little maintenance tasks that you should be doing all year round. Ensuring that your links are still working & your pictures are still posting are best dealt with on a regular basis otherwise they become a bit of a slog. If you have fallen behind, and who doesn't on occasion, you may want to take some time to get those in order before proceeding.
Now on to de-cluttering!
The older I get the more I value a well curated space be. Since this appreciation for restrained elegance is constantly at war with my natural magpie tendencies I have to compromise. I find it helps to take a step back and try to look at my blogs with fresh eyes all the while mumbling "... less is more ... less is more".
No matter how cool they are, if those gadgets & widgets are no longer highly functional & ascetically pleasing it's time to chuck them out.
Screen real estate is valuable; use it wisely while leaving room for your cherished content to breathe.
