Sail with Friends
Sunday at 12 noon

I don't know port from starboard....I get real confused on the sailing talk, and the headwinds have made me say some really bad words at times. You see.....I am not a sailor.....but I have learned to love sailing
...........and I do know how to have fun!

We have a group of friends who sail every Sunday at noon.. Last Sunday we had 5 sailboats and we were escorted by two airboats!

We try to be courteous.to our fellow boaters.....but occasionally there might be a bump or scratch ...(some days we all need brakes on boats) ; ) If you bump boats, we dont get all mad......but, you just owe two bottles of rum and a bikini top ; )

This is not quite as structured as the Palm Beach Yacht Club, but I think we have a lot more fun! We take things a little less serious than some Yacht Clubs. In our group we have some expert sailors and some novices and some speedboat drivers......but that makes it perfect!

If you want to meet people, but don't sail, come on out and join us! You can ride with us or drive a speedboat. We don't have attitudes, but we do have fun!

Here's the important info

Waypoints - any place with rum to steal
final destination - who knows
SF Sail - ok (preferred)
winds - I use e 25, but don't care what you use.
trim - manual or auto
Bwind - ok
Speedboat - ok
Airboat - ok
Jetski - ok
bikini on - ok
bikini off - ok
Smiles are required!

* boats are available or you may rezz your own

Start your weekend with an amazing EDM set by Pin!

July 5 12pm

Location: Party Mountain on Friends Region
hop://login.friends-grid.com:8002/Friends/509/675/59

Attire: Casual or Bikini (location is a pool)

ZenRieko: If you aren't here, get here. If you are here, do not leave. The music is fresh, funky and such a treat for the ears and the feet. Pin is really crushing it. 6 months ago
I was taught to treat people with respect. I prefer to think of it as treating people with dignity. To do that, I need to act with dignity. Acting out of anger only hardens the heart and diminishes oneself in everyones eyes. There is a better way of dealing with frustration. It begins with compassion for oneself, and then for others. This season, and in every season, my wish is this.

May I be happy. May I be well. May I live in peace. May I be free.

May all beings near me be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace.
May they be free.

May all beings far from me be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all beings on this planet be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all of my family be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all of my friends be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all of my enemies be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

May all beings everywhere, whether near or far, whether known to me or unknown, be happy. May they be well. May they live in peace. May they be free.

Thank You Everyone. I love sailing and used to be on Older sim.

PinDeluca: What an awesome Event ! Thank you for the Music. 2 years ago
Docklands Club presents an evening of utterly danceable Britpop. Starting at 12:00 grid with Zen making his very first appearance as a DJ. Then the fabulous Pin takes over the stream at 13:00 for the second hour.

Featuring iconic bands like Blur, The Cure, Primal Scream, The Teardrop Explodes, Happy Mondays, New Order and many others.

If you already love Britpop you'll be in for a nostalgic treat. If it's new to you, come along and experience the energy and irreverent joy that fuelled our teenage years 🙂 URI: login.friends-grid.com:8002/Docklands

Hello friends
I decided to make a change sooner than I had planned. I want to improve user experience….. so friends-grid now has dual servers.

I am also putting together a schedule of when I will be restarting every region on a weekly basis and I will post it here.

Took this of Melody swimming and enjoying being mermaids.


KaliStar: No worries I am glad you both like it! Took me a while to get a picture I really liked but when I finally got this one I was like yay! 1 years ago

PinDeluca: Welcome Melody, looking forward to meeting you :D 1 years ago

Took the Playful Girl out on the water today to do some more tuning. It was great to be able to get the spinnaker up and enjoy the wonderful islands of Friends Grid going passed.


Courreges Malatesta: Amazing boat !! 1 years ago
We had a wonderful sail today with new and old friends. Those who didn't know how to sail joined us in using the wind boats. What great fun those are. So you don't need to know how to sail. You can use any boat and have just as much fun.

PinDeluca: The Sailing was so much fun cant wait till next week ! 1 years ago
