SL Destinations: The Black Spot Shipyard

Ahoy Shipmates!

This week sees the start of the Skull-n-Bones 3rd annual Pirate hunt ,

so the wife and I thought it would be a great opportunity for us to share one of our seafaring adventures from a few months back.

We made sail for the Black Spot Shipyard which is a series of islands and inlets set over 2 sims.

A vast array of pirate ships and galleons, all of which are for sale, line the harbour and docks.

Wooden walkways and paths lead to secluded areas with seating to take in the scenery and magnificent ships.

Torch lit corridors lead through the fortified docks, with cavernous rooms to explore.

Catch the boat tour which navigates around the ships and islands,
or if you fancy seeing the sights from the air take the flying broom or flying carpet tour!

You can rez your own ships or boats here and sail around to your hearts content.
So if you think the Pirate life is for you then this should be your first port of call.

SL Destinations: Forgotten City

Greetings fellow adventurers,

Today the Wife and I ventured into the AMAZING Forgotten City.

A Steampunk world of Gears and Steam, Industry and Automatons,

Air Ships and Rockets set over many levels.

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery, especially in settings inspired by The Industrialized Western Civilization during the 19th century’s British Victorian era or America’s “Wild West”.

From the starting point in the lower City you will find information and a teleporter to the many other activities and points of interest.

We started our visit by taking in the sights by Hot Air balloon, and then by Boat through the winding canals.

Brass Autobot Citizens can be found occupied, or walking the streets tending to the workings of the city, along with many clockwork cats.

On the Toy Factory’s platform you are able to buy many of the vehicles, buildings and objects found around the city.

Here you can sit and enjoy some interactive games.

There is a racing track with cars free to rez, or if you fancy your chances fighting extraterrestrials, an Alien hunt game.

Still feeling in the mood for activities? Why not take a chair lift to the mountain summit and compete with friends in the long distance ski jump.

 

After that you can dance away into the small hours in the ballroom or relax at the sausage stand.

Many of the buildings are available to rent so if you enjoy your visit as much as we did you may want to make your home there too!

 

‘Til the next time 🙂
