In the couple of years leading up to the founding of Space Pioneers, Stjarna and Hulda explored many places in Second Life, slowly discovering how the virtual world worked.
Some folk dive in and do much swiftly, but other people quietly explore to find out what is possible, as they learn the ropes of the virtual culture.
After exploring many of the separated regions, or islands, around the ABC, exploration of the mainland in Second Life was begun, both land and sea, where places like the little island port of Halfhitch were found in the vast Blake Sea.
There are many islands scattered around this sea, which are all open to the public, where visitors to Second Life can explore.
Beneath the waves are many sunken vessels and coral reefs and upon the water the hobby of virtual world sailing is pursued by many, including regular races.
There is a virtual wind in the Second Life air, which fills the sails of yachts, drives hot air balloons along and sends the smoke of a fire in the direction of the moving virtual air.
Free boats are available in many places, including in the harbour at Halfhitch, so denizens can practice the arts of sailing.
Beneath the waves in the Blake Sea ancient ruins begin to appear, especially around one particularly large island, which shall appear next on our tour following the trail of the Space Pioneers toward the launch of their project.
