Captains Log: Mumford Cove to Hellspar: Leg #1: Mumford Cove to Honah Lee Airport

The first leg is from our home in Mumford Cove, heading west to Honah Lee Airport.  We're doing this in a number of short hops, to facilitate sim crossings and "refuelings." (my version of refueling is deleting and rerezzing a new vehicle at the landing points.)

At the last minute, we decide to take off to the east, then turn around and head west towards the Blake Sea and Honah Lee Airport.

We turn to the north and set up for approach to Honah Lee, seen in the distance to the right.

We encountered a bit of "turbulence" as we prepared for our landing at Honah Lee.

Safely landed at Honah Lee, despite a bit of traffic on the airstrip.

NEXT LEG: A SHORT HOP WEST TO GREEN HILL AIRPORT!

TransOceanic Air Travel!

My main means of making a living on Second Life is as a LIVE singer, and as such, I have performed at mant venues on SL.  One of them is managed by a good friend, Kimberly Lefavre, and is called The Star Bar, and is located on the Hellspar sim on the SL continent called Corsica.  In order to do this, we'll have to travel through several dozen sims, through the blake sea, the continent of Nautilus, and finally, Corsica.

This is the general flight plan from our home in mumford cove to Hellspar sim in Corsica

In order to make this miraculous flight, Taylee and I will rely on good luck, SL cooperating, successful sim crossings, and our 1942 Amphibious Grumman Duck Biplane.

The Grumman J2F Duck (company designation G-15) was an American single-engine amphibious biplane. It was used by each major branch of theU.S. armed forces from the mid-1930s until just after World War II, primarily for utility and air-sea rescue duties. It was also used by the Argentine Navy, who took delivery of their first Duck in 1937. After the war, J2F Ducks saw service with independent civilian operators, as well as the armed forces of Colombia and Mexico.

We will log our journey here, with all it's successes and failures.

So one of the things that I enjoy doing, and Taylee enjoys doing with me is flying and sailing in SL.  When I say flying, I mean by means of a plane of some sort, rather than the traditional SL means of traveling.  Simulating flight on Second Life has come a long way, and other than the obligatory bad sim crossing, the experience is quite rewarding.  It provides a unique way of discovering and exploring areas of SL that would not normally be explored.

Taylee and I have a home in the United Sailing Sims in Sailors Cove.  From here we embark on many flying and sailing adventures which I will share with you here.
