I looked at him, He looked at me, <br />in unison, "we don't have one of these" and the "factory floor" <br />was ablaze with frenzied work. We did try helium, but after<br />a high pitched giggling session it was gone and the thought of <br />everyone in SL voicing on Helium was frightening. All sorts of <br />tyre pumps, patch kits, and the like were considered, even <br />service crews stationed across the grid but were just not doable. <br />Borrowing some old NASA space suit anti leakage technology, <br />we were able to insure instant silent inflation but with accepting<br /> that it could neve be deflated, no matter what those people <br />that live on the bottom of SL's waterways poked it with.<br /> In all seriousness Noodles, thank you for a great tell it as it is <br />and isn't project we did to be uber simple to sail and maybe <br />even get to people outside our "usual" group of sailors. The <br />poses were chosen purposely to pass on all maturity levels <br />by LL standards and still be meaningful.<br /> @ George A …. we looked at several lee-board set ups and this <br />seemed the best middle ground without teaching people how to use <br />them properly.<br /> Fair winds and calm seas to all. Get your "get close" person, and <br />be close, whether in our "Sunset", as we named it, or in your own <br />get close sailing machine!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18018295300705244808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724749504995792010.post-84159630288138064582013-10-11T19:08:56.297+02:002013-10-11T19:08:56.297+02:00Can you work the lee-broads?

But then what sailboat really has a purpose in SL? What boat at all? And further why do people even bother making wondrous vehicles, land, water and air? Do we even have these 3 elements in SL at all?<br /><br />No. So as a matter of fact the inflatable rubberduck makes as much sense as AC72, a M24, a Loonetta or any of Jacqui's museum pieces.Orcahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09419827755412713043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724749504995792010.post-14506963772126520062013-10-11T17:26:59.517+02:002013-10-11T17:26:59.517+02:00Foiling technic: pump it up with hot air :)Foiling technic: pump it up with hot air :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-724749504995792010.post-14454643865426341172013-10-11T17:23:23.400+02:002013-10-11T17:23:23.400+02:00Inflatable:
