SL World Atlas
I tried to reach the cool yacht world that was introduced last time from the sea, but I found that it was located at the SL world end. The below is the SL World Atlas. The white arrow at the top left is the place, and the right below is the area of the group of continents that we live.
The white dots in the top picture are SIMs like the one in the below. It is impossible to move to other SIMs without TP except the area around the continent and some special areas that were connected with water.
In the far north area shown in the top picture, whole islands were connected with sea and it could be possible to sail freely, but unfortunately it was so heavy and there were some limited access areas.
The continents at the right below in the top picture. I used the old name. The sea between Satori and Jeogeot could have been landfilled.
The continent Nautilus where I have lived since I started SL. Many people could have preferred sea to inland, so the SIMs were increased along the seashore. At the right below, there is Blake Sea that was considered as the sanctuary? for sailors.
Long time ago, I searched about intercontinental water ways. I am not sure whether they are effective now, but please visit my old articles if you were interested in. Mr. Max the yacht expert came back to SL recently and he said that he was trying to establish a route map for mariners. I am looking forward to!

Reminisce about Yachts 2
Last time, I put out my yachts from inventory but still there are some large boats left behind. This is the largest one that I got at some free shop but never used it myself.
I remembered a SIM that had many yachts mooring. There is no large one and all of them had different owners. I thought it should be a wonderful community.
I visited there after a long interval and found that it was changed totally. There are some large yachts but it was rather quiet,
In the huge area, there are many green islands and several yacht race courses, as a dream land for sailors.
But unfortunately, it was so heavy maybe due to my PC environment that almost impossible to operate yachts and I was not able to come alongside of the pier. It was so heavy with a motor yacht that should be light. It would be hard for a yacht that keeps calculating the wind effect continuously.

Reminisce about Yachts
I imagine, every person who loves yacht would have tried once, to align all boats that you have. This is an inhabitant island, one of my favorite rezzing spots.
This is the first try. This was the limit to put these within the limited time for auto-return, 20 minutes here. The first picture is the second try, but still there were several big boats left in my inventory. I run out of the time and space.
I hope there is some atmosphere in this picture. I have used this island as the base of ocean cruising and also for taking pictures.
The yacht shop of Corry. I got some job in her shop and received yachts instead of the fee. I have almost all of her products.
A monthly race at Trenza Yacht Club that was finished before. This was a miniature course just to make a circle around this small island, but it was joyful. At other large yacht clubs, there were ocean races or intercontinental races.
An ocean cruise with many friends on her yacht. There were some unique sceneries.
A dinghy 470 flying over the water as smooth as glass. The attendants at the race have dropped off gradually, and I was sailing alone.
Playing cello solitarily at a pier of an ex-boyfriend. Where have all the sailors gone? Long time passing…

Face Painting
It became somewhat possible to edit skin, but it is too hard for me to create whole face. So, I challenged the face painting, which is the same way for tattoo.
As same as the skin editing, it is necessary to know what area is transferred on actual avatar. This is the template prepared by Linden, which I put some color for reference to avatar face. Numbering the mesh could be OK.
The above template might be for creating face, so the area around nose and eyes are meshed in detail. This is not suitable for painting.
3: I made another one with grid. The grid should be put on a separate layer.
4: A skin was made with the skin and grid together, and put on an avatar, which will be used later.
5: Firstly, make a painting with Photoshop on a picture of avatar that should be taken with the same angle as 4 that jhas the grid. The angle is preferable to show the grid as less distortion as possible. The painting should be done on a separate layer. Photographs of real things can be used. In the 1 I used a flag picture. If the image is symmetrical, it is necessary to paint only half of it.
6: The 4 and 5 should be doubled, then adjust the transparency to show both of them. This will be the reference picture to adjust the painting layer.
7: Take a copy of the painted layer made in 5 and paste it on the skin grid 3 as another layer. Then adjust the size and distortion of the layer to have the same relation as the grid on 6. After getting the adjustment, make a symmetrical copy for the other side.
8: Erase the grid layer. Finally. the detail and color will be adjusted at this stage. Put it on the avatar to check the position. The painted layer should be kept as a separate layer that can be modified anytime. It could be possible to start with painting directly on 8．
Took pictures for the record. Personally, I care for neither face painting nor tattoo, so it was interesting but not practical. ^-^ I wore it at the Baba Meeting Area but no one noticed it. It could be natural since we were dancing, but while sitting at another bar, none of seven guests mentioned about my face.;;
You can save L$10 while checking by using temporary upload, but there might be some tool that makes it possible to check it off-line. As before, the skin, template, or grid shown above can be used on avatars by copying them.

Last sailing
The Trenza SIM group was still there, so I tried to make a final sailing, but the scenery was strange. I adjusted environmental settings but it did not work. Finally I noticed that the landscape was sank in the sea. Still there were the pier, start line, course layout board, and also wind-setter.
The whole island is at the bottom of the sea, like a town sank by a dam.
It was possible to rez a yacht to make a final sailing. Treetops were above the water.
I erased water by Ctl+Alt+Shift+7. This is the north corner of the island where I had worked hard to keep speed while turning.
The neighboring SIM was also under sea. There were several buildings, some of them were still in business.
Café Orion was above the sea, only the building.
Vacant space reminds me of the last of EDO SIM group. I have observed many endings of SIMs. I might watch more when the new SL would start…

Yacht in the air
Recently there are strange mistakes at Trenza yacht practice. While sailing with spinnaker at speed of 13 knots, yacht slows down and the wake suddenly disappears. The other day Eiki slowed down in front of me so I bumped into the rear. It was considered to hit shallows, so I erased the water. The riffles on the water is a separate prim that stays.
The slowdown happens around this area but there is no shallow. It could be mistake in adjusting sail angles. In this picture, the sails are transparent for racing but the spinnaker is fully spread and the centerboard is in up position properly.
Hisanori is shaving the south shore of the island. He should not be able to see the sea bed but he can manage it having trained well. I often make my centerboard hit the shallow by turning too close to the shore. Now I am missing the turn while taking SSs. The ground cut line shows the SIM boarder. There is a spacious ocean if water is visible.
This is not a bug but turn close at the SIM boarder. It is like to fly in the air, but soon the yacht hits the boarder and will be stopped.

SL World map
The meeting last week at Trenza Yacht Club was a long cruise.
From the west shore of Satori continent, through the inland sea of Nautilus. It took about one hour on the south wind of 10 knots. Passing by the Ahub’s Haunt made of huge whale bones and giant Titanic, then sailed out into the east shore of Nautilus. Almost dropped on the way but two out of three of us managed to complete the course. It is too bad that there are some closed private SIMs on the shore line making it impossible to go around the continent. Linden, please do something.
A world map of SL that I reported last year. There will be some changes since then but put it again here since that was received well. Scattered spots are independent SIMs. There is no SIM in the blue area like the ocean, so it is impossible to enter except limited area around continents.
The whole world of SL. The white areas are the continents shown above. What is the area surrounded by the lines I put? Could it be the area where SIMs can be set? If you are interested in ocean sailing, please see my earlier articles.

Fireworks
The end of summer. This year, I have not seen big exhibition of fireworks neither in RL nor SL. Alha kindly invited me to her house with fireworks. It was neat and beautiful adequate to fireworks in late summer.
Alha’s house is a seaside one with exotic atmosphere of a southern land. If I were invited to this nice house, I will be soon fall in love with him, but unfortunately they were all girls on the day. It is possible to rez a cruiser on the shore. My dream in RL is to watch fireworks on a sofa on a flybridge of large cruiser, but I have not done yet. I have not had a chance to encounter such a person…
My dream, cruiser Princess 56. Price is more than US$ 2,000,000. Pier cost is US$ 30,000 a year! There are some proglams available to make honey moon tour by big cruiser, but I cannot do it since I easily get seasick. But in SL, it should be possible to watch fireworks from a cruiser. Could anyone organize an event…

Many passengers
When I said that my new yacht can carry 32 passengers, someone said that it should be a slave ship, so here is an introduction of the Loonetta. There are 12 positions only around the cockpit.
There are nine seats in the main cabin. Each position has animation respectively. Sorry to say but all on board are only Temi. Actually guests may not sit in this kind of varieties, but it might be joyful to do like this. I would try some day.
There are more positions in bedroom, kitchen, and also toilet. It is hard to set camera position. It is also joyful to walk through a ship that was made larger than actual scale, but this one provides real feel of a cruiser. The entrance to bedroom behind the stair is nice!
