As aggravating as it can be in SL, I love sailing. I also attend church services at UUtopia region on Thursday nights.
I love to build and create mesh avatars and clothing, make surfboards and waves, but I do that in OpenSim. We have 3500 SL sized regions that costs me less than a 5000 prim homestead.. and our surf areas are 768m or 1536m across.. so you can get up a good head of steam. :)
