the Iron Star

The Wild Fleet did not have an ironclad. Until now. Here is the new flagship of the Steam Squadron: the Iron Star! ;)

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.



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 :)



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

Happy Anniversary, Winterfell !

Winterfell is celebrating its third year

Happy Halloween

Wild Island is ready to host tonight's Halloween party!

the Tradewinds Yatch Club Boat Show

Here we are again! The Tradewinds Yacht Club has organized a new edition of its Boat Show, one of my favorite events in the SL calendar!



Like last years there are a number of lovely boats on display and it is a great fun to walk among them and to create some new needs to oneself :)



If you visit - and I strongly suggest you to do, it is worth - be careful that there are many textures to load in the area and they may take quite a while.



Have fun!

Dangerous waters

the waters of Winterfell can be very dangerous. Expecially in the south, the water around the Amaranthine castle rock can be very very tricky. The stream is strong and so many boats have been crashed on the rocks in the past.



Here is me, at the helm of the Star of Winterfell, in a particularly bad day when I barely escaped losing the boat and maybe worse.

As you can see other ships have been less lucky

Be careful if you sail in the area

Fair winds!

the updated Nepenthe Gate

The Nepenthe Gate is the Southern gate of Winterfell, the border between Winterfell and Caledon, linking Absinthe and Laudanum to Cape Wrath,



Miss Serra recently retouched the gate, retexturing and creating a path going into Laudanum and Absinthe. The new texture is now more in line with the more recent look of Winterfell.



Here is me taking the Exploring Star out of Winterfell and back in through the gate in a short cruise between Winterfell and Caledon.

I fortified Star Port

I built some walls on the sea side of Star Port. It had been a while that I wanted to do some changes there and I like the overall effect :)

Autumn at Wild Castle

the Victorian Town of Quirm in OSGrid

I had not visited other grids in a while. A couple of days ago I paid a brief visit to OSGrid. It was not the best moment - some server updates were going on and it was not very stable, but still I was able to walk around the lovely Victorian town of Quirm and to take some nice pictures that I'd like to share.













Quirm is a lovely place. Beautifully built and textured and definitely worth a visit. Some known Victorian names dwell there and there is even a Booksmythe extension :)

If you have a OSGrid account (if not, get one :) ) visit there

Have fun
