But let me add another comment (this is just my own view ):

Although I appreciate ex-Senator Rick Santorum has recently preached a mantra of monogamy, abstinence and self-denial,
I’m pretty sure that doesn’t work for sailors and sailboats.
I actually think it’s okay to be flagrantly promiscuous where boats are concerned.

So Jacob,
do whatever you can to get helm control
of as many vessels as possible,
any day you’re online.

Oh, and please do me one additional favor in that regard.
Don’t sit there and sulk because your Tako 3.1 no longer has product support.
Good grief, Jacob, you still pining over that cheerleader that dumped you in high school?

There are a thousand very fast, very sexy wind-powered boats on the market these days,
aching for you to grab hold and walk them around the block…
(OKOK, there are only maybe a few dozen, not a thousand… but I’m trying to make a point here!)

so Jacob… grab a life jacket, make a date with some sleek model painted in shiny awlgrip…
and cancel that check to Santorum’s land-bound program of anti-sailor political self-denial.
JMHO…
See you on the water!

Como Canning kindly told me that the Far East sim will stay open in SL, but I don’t know his plans for it. I do not know the future of FEYC, either.
However, I do know that many (including yourself) are very concerned about this, and stand willing to help out.

In that context, let me send Kudos to Elbag Gable. I know that several weeks ago he contacted Corry, offering to bring Wildwind and FEYC to North Sea. Although it was probably too late for Corry to take advantage of this generous initiative, I thought Elbag’s offer quietly reflected a common commitment we all share.
After all, we are sailors together, and we are united across this fragile globe. That bond bridges any ocean, however vast, that might separate us.

Como Canning or other friends of FEYC may have more information.

She was already well along in her building career when I came along, but it was the RCJ-44 that captured my interest for a long time. It is still one of my favourite boats and the one that I most often display. There may even be one in Madaket right now.

I fully understand the need to step away from SL. There are many reasons, as even I have moved away a fair amount of my free time. Whatever the reason, I wish her well.

Thank you, Corry, for having made my SL and RL richer with her creations.

Now I know a bit more

It is sad to see her sim gone,
but we have to thank her for all her work and her great boats.

Liv

It was never like that inworld.
Long live Wildies!
