By now, most everyone knows that the first word my human learned as a child was “boatie”. It was because her family was very involved in boating and fishing, and I guess this led to that. And I seem to have the same interest as my human about a lot of things, including boaties.

Well, yesterday I was checking out some old landmarks, looking for cool things to do when I came upon some locations that had been renamed. And there on the 1942 Mikasa sim I saw the most extraordinary boatie — well, battleship. Apparently this ship has a distinguished past beginning in 1905 during the Russo-Japanese War, and has been restored in Yokosuka, Japan. That’s all I know, other than the fact that this is one of the extraordinary builds in Second Life. I was completely in awe at the level of detail.

This discovery was totally accidental but once again my “wanderin’ bone” is itching to wander the 30,000+ sims of Second Life. If you recall I started a series of expeditions back in 2008. Anyway, itchy, itchy.
