From Japan to SL

From the west side of Satori to the north-east corner of Nautilus, a long course passing through about ninety SIMs. Someone made a SIM on the coastal waterway private, and now it is impossible to make a full circle of a continent, but the inland sea of Nautilus is more flexible in selecting courses and has varied scenes.




An island as the starting point. I tried this course with various yachts but every time I was logged out around the strait in the inland sea. So I used a buggy boat that is small and good in stability and steerability. Also this one has good speed.

An island near the goal. There is a free REZ area. The sea is dead end some distance ahead. The cautious outward voyage took about 30 minutes but the shooting homeward was about 15 minutes. The points not to drop when crossing SIM borders might be to release throttle and rudder to make coasting at the border, and to slow down when passing strait. But it is exhilarating to speed at the maximum of 130km/h while feeling thumps every time crossing SIM border. Since the buggy boat is too small for picture, I brought out an ocean racer, a new model from WildWind. I will try again with this.

There are many yacht race courses set in the inland sea of Nautilus and many buoys were set. Titanic is also on the way. On the east there is Blake Sea that is famous as yacht racing site. The white SIM on the right of the letter Blake Sea is Hollywood SIM that has a large yacht club. I will introduce two islands with free REZ zones. There will be many yacht races held here so please be careful not to interfere with other racers. The waterway toward east may be the longest straight course in the SL. I rode a jet-boat to try the maximum speed but I dropped out soon.
