What's blue and white and putting around the Bay?
The Mowry Bay Water Taxi, that's what.
Come ride the inaugural line from MBYC Village-side docks up to the North Docks in Scafell. Mind the bump at the end, we're still working on the docking.
Coming soon: Fowl Deeds, the Race Line, and who knows where else? :)

Updates
Well, I have a laptop again, and have been able to resume work on things that require Photoshop, so, news on Elisha's latest creations for sale forthcoming. - A
Hello! I haven't gone away, just been busy with some things. And now I can share them with you. First off, I've spend some time landscaping the grounds of the Great Tree and finishing up the pathway system -- now, it's possible to walk from Mowry Village east up to the Linden Road, or down the hill to the Scafell Stone Docks, making the entire southeast Mowry Bay region completely walkable without using the Road. It's beautiful, and all are welcome to visit and sit on the bench and watch the trees, or relax in the gazebo and watch the bay. (picture at left: the view of the gazebo from the bench, looking down the hill at the bay)
I mentioned in my long ago last post that the Mowry Art Cafe was to have its grand opening. Well, it did, and it was a fine time indeed. There was much dancing and music and a lot of compliments on the art selections Indigo has acquired and put up for show. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend the whole thing, and to discuss it further would be to do Indigo a disservice, but I do understand that the evening was stellar and many new friends of the MAC were made, making it a worthy addition to the Second Life art community. Congrats, Indigo, deeply. (picture at right: the MAC grand opening)
In other news, I am considering opening ferry service to connect the Scafell Stone Docks with Mowry North harbor. Mowry North is home of the Mowry tall ship fleet, as well as Mowry Beach, and at the moment isn't on any main part of the local infrastructure (you can get to it from the Linden Road after a fashion, cutting through the grass behind my Scafell boutique and going downhill, but there's no defined path). I am currently investigating automatically-driven ferries, and would welcome any assistance anyone might be able to provide into a waypoint-following script set. Basically, the ferry would start at the stone dock, wait there for a minute or so, then proceed away from the dock and up Scafell water until it reached the end of one of the piers at Mowry North, where it would stop for another minute before returning back south. It would not need to cross sim boundaries, which I know is problematic with waypoint-following things, but it would need to transit no-rez Linden water for most of its trip. Some sort of beacon system to detect if the ship has gone wild and been returned/derezzed or similar would be a good idea too, to create a new ferry, but that could happen later. Kitties can dream. But a ferry would be very neat nonetheless.

Mowry Art Cafe Grand Opening
The MAC will have an OPENING PARTY Saturday, October 6th, starting at 1pm SLT (10pm CEST).
Dear friends,
I am Indigo Mertel, owner of the café. As some of you know, the MAC is the offspring of a renovation project Elisha Paklena and I started a couple of months ago with the help and support of many friends of the Mowry community. Our intent is to make the MAC the center of cultural and entertaining activities and will be dedicated to build and foster a lively community in the Mowry area. The MAC will be a place dedicated to many form of artistic expressions and just a nice place to hang out.
We also have a small exhibition gallery, available to those who wish to exhibit their artistic work. We plan to have regular events and are already playing with some ideas. We will have parties and have fun. You are welcome to come to the MAC any time for a nice chat. We are open 24h a day!
Your contribution is welcome! If you have suggestions or wish to be an event coordinator please send an IM.
If you want to be informed about our events please join the Mowry Art Cafe' group.
The MAC will have an OPENING PARTY Saturday, October 6th, starting at 1pm SLT (10pm CEST). You are all invited, bring your friends!
See you soon! A presto!

In the Village
Spearheading the reconstruction of Mowry Village, after the old village's utter devastation in the wake of Typhoon Domela. It's coming along nicely; we're working on the village square now (it's fun to fall in the well :) and probably on the lower village next. Almost ready to begin inviting shopowners to return and reopen, which will be a very exciting day for all of us.
Of course, all the work can make kitty goofy-weird. Which explains, probably, my hair.
