Announcement: Mole v Residents Boat Race For The Bellisserian 3rd Anniversary.

 
Date and time - Saturday April 16th 11:00 am SLT to Noon SLT

Identical 'Zodiac' boats will be provided for each team member (but in different liveries)

Course Route -

Course starts and ends at the Whiskey Bay Fairgrounds Pier

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Whiskey%20Bay/172/30/22

If you crash or lose your boat please restart at the last rez point you passed.

Racers leave in batches of 2 to 4 to avoid all crashing as they enter the same region at once.

Points are given to the team by placement. First is 1 point, 2nd is 2, 3rd 3, and so on. So the team with the LOWEST points win. We'll decide on the day the finer points of the scoring system depending on numbers involved (eg DNFs)

At full pelt you can do the course in 20 minutes or so. Race conditions are different. But there should be plenty of time.

Stewards are requested too, you'll be assigned to a key way mark.
 

Announcement: Bellisseria Cinco De Mayo Boat Parade

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo with the Bellisseria Parade!

The Bellisseria Relay teams are celebrating Cinco de Mayo this weekend, May 2nd-5th. The celebration will include a Boat Parade that will leave the Fairground docks at noon on May 3rd.  You are all invited to bring your boat and join the parade. We're sending early notice so you have time to decorate your boat, too. Decorate it for Relay or Cinco de Mayo or both. Please plan to join us at noon on Saturday at the Fairgrounds, we look forward to seeing you!

The plan: 

    The First Anniversary boat parade was so much fun that we thought we'd do it again! 

    We will arrive before noon at the docks at Whiskey Bay.  Rez boats there and then move over to the west into Bellisseria Bay to line up, boats pointed south. 

     From there we'll cruise on south in parade line (as best we can with the constraints imposed by persnickety simulators, boats, and whatever else the Fates have in store.

    The parade route takes on a tour around The Pickle!  The whole trip takes about 45 minutes.

For more information, and a notecard, contact Camden McAndrews and/or join the Bellisseria Parade Group.

New Sims, Linden Home Areas, Offshore Island, Added to Bellisseria

For those whom have been anxiously awaiting the next batch of Linden homes, your wait  may soon be over. Ten new sims have been added to the Bellisseria continent, six of which hadn't appeared on the map yet as of the writing of this article.

Even though the lower six weren't visible on the map yet, they were visible and accessible in-avatar, including some dock areas for houseboats.

In the four sims that were visible on the map, there were some houseboats set up, though not quite ready to be claimed.

Some places for land-based Linden Homes had what looked like Monopoly house tokens. Perhaps these were to mark where real homes were to go.

That's not all that's appeared in the Costner Bay and Whiskey Bay sims, there's an island with an airstrip and a pier. The airstrip is at Costner Bay (118/82/23). The pier is at Whiskey Bay (173/11/23). Like six of the sims, it wasn't yet on the map when this story was being written.

When some houseboat Linden Homes were released last month, the 709 houses were snapped up in just 27 minutes. Since then however, Linden Lab has announced the price of Premium accounts, which are necessary to claim a Linden Home, will go up significantly later this month. It will be interesting to see how much of an effect the price hike has on how fast the homes are claimed.

Addition: As of 10 AM SL time, the remainder of the new sims have appeared on the map, but not the island yet.
