Metaverse Sailing is a blog about sailing in Second Life and other 3-dimensional worlds online.
What’s the point here?
I’m not sure, either…
but here’s what I thought on December 6, 2007:
“… this morning I logged in from North America and drank my Starbucks while cheering on my Japanese friends as they crossed the SYC start line 30 meters below me, but also more than 10,000 miles West. At the same time, Bea was watching the races next to me but also 5,000 miles East. There we were, all together, nothing special; just another day in SL.
Maybe we need to be careful.
Somebody might get the idea that building an online community of funny, intelligent people that is unencumbered by traditional barriers of nationality, class, or distance is somehow important.
That sounds pretty tedious.
Personally, I just like to play with toy boats…”

Hi,
I’m emailing to ask if I can have permission to use a pic off your website that I like for a feature on the future of sailing?I work on the picture desk at Yachting World magazine.
If you can email me then I can attach the pic and take it from there…
Many thanks,
Vanda
Happy to help.
What is this? Second Life? A parallel universe? Lovely art?
(I’ll have to blog roll so I can get back anytime I need to!)
