Another Adventure:S/V "MEGERIN": Spring in the CaribbeanI
http://megerin.blogspot.com/2014/04/spring-in-caribbeani.html
We buy another boat! Thursday, April 24, 2014. Spring in the CaribbeanI. How can we tell it's springtime here? First, the seagulls are back - we can't figure out where they go and even more interestingly, why? It certainly doesn't get cold here and they're not leaving for hurricane season, since it ends Nov. 30th. The pelicans are here all the time, as are brown boobies (yes-it's a bird! What do you learn about yourself cruising? Tom - a rare moment of relaxation - he loves to sail. Ann and Art are from ...

Another Adventure:S/V "MEGERIN"
http://megerin.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-bad-news-is-that-time-flies.html
We buy another boat! Thursday, January 1, 2015. The BAD news is that time flies. The GOOD news is that YOU are the Pilot. Ok, that is not me, but I liked how the picture expressed my thoughts - well, everyone’s, really. I always hear “where does the time go” and there is no good answer. And the older you get the faster it seems to fly by! We had been watching an old 19 incher for years but a quick trip to Best Buy and $300 remedied that. Beautiful Chesapeake sunset at Jim's. View of walkway along the Ohi...

Another Adventure:S/V "MEGERIN": June 2013
http://megerin.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
We buy another boat! Saturday, June 22, 2013. Mission Accomplished - 1180 miles from Brunswick, GA to Tortola, BVI. Well they say you can't go home again, so we were a little worried about returning to the Virgin Islands - would we think it was as good as we remembered? Would we be disappointed and regret leaving US and Bahama friends behind? No worries - it is as wonderful as ever! 1) Close ports and hatches. 2) Open them back up 5 minutes later so you can breath again. Megan and Judd on Megerin. The vi...

Another Adventure:S/V "MEGERIN": May 2013
http://megerin.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
We buy another boat! Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Mona passage - DONE. A great weather window popped up, so Megerin left Luperon last Thursday and arrived Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, Saturday morning - a 38 hour trip. After an annoying customs/immigration encounter (but free! Houses in La Pageura are built right on the water in the mangroves. We dinghied through the many mangroves. Time to leave Dominican Republic. Cows in the street - not a rare sight in Luperon. Motor scooter carrying bags and baskets of stuff.

Another Adventure:S/V "MEGERIN": April 2012
http://megerin.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
We buy another boat! Monday, April 30, 2012. March 29th - April 10th, 2012. Eleuthera's people were extremely nice and many times we were offered rides as we walked along. It is not a big tourist area, as it is pretty rustic in most places - mainly a good place for some serious fishing. Some of the names I came across in their cruising guide were: Hammer Head rock. Not a place for sissies! Jesse, Ginny and us at ocean hole. The inside of the library was beautiful. Sunset at Governor's Bay - not our boat.

Another Adventure:S/V "MEGERIN": January 2014
http://megerin.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
We buy another boat! Monday, January 6, 2014. Hello to 2014 cruising season. Had to show off the Ladies Christmas wine glasses - we know how to drink fashionably. Wow, I cannot believe it is 2014! We spent New Year's Eve at the Hyatt at Pittsburgh airport to catch a 6:35 AM flight. Tonight we will be staying at the Inn at Blackbeard's Castle in Charlotte Amalia, St. Thomas, which is the US Virgin Islands. I think we are treating ourselves pretty good so far this new year.

http://megerin.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
We buy another boat! Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Tuesday, Feb.19 2013. So back to the boat and decided to stay another day. Good choice as it rained all day and most of the next. Then a big northeast system was on the way - of course - so, we are still here. Weather decides our every move! Jane in the Lazy River. Mark and Mac on the Lazy River. Gig, Jane and Charlotte on the Lazy river. Monday, February 11, 2013. While we were home in Pgh. for the holidays, Megerin's canvas was changed from tan to na...

Another Adventure:S/V "MEGERIN": Hurricane season along the Ohio River
http://megerin.blogspot.com/2014/08/hurricane-season-along-ohio-river.html
We buy another boat! Monday, August 4, 2014. Hurricane season along the Ohio River. Our beautiful boat in the BVI. Right now she is in a cradle in the Nanny Cay boatyard. This year was incident free as far as boat breakdowns go (knock on wood). Even though built in 1997, she presents as a much newer boat. Home sweet home January to June. All five of them! Alyza (19), Jane (13), Mac (17), Charlotte (16) and Gigi (11). Waterfall at the pool. Mark, Ray, Mac at the wheel. We had Father's Day brunch at the be...

We buy another boat! Friday, April 19, 2013. Last view of incredible blue waters in the Caicos. See the blue outside the harbor? The anchorage at Luperon harbor - nice to see green hills and mountains beyond after the flat and arid Bahamas. Luperon is known as the best hurricane harbor in the Caribbean. The Dept. of Agriculture, one of four depts. to complete check-in. The beers here are "grande"- I can't finish one. We are looking forward to buying some Santo Domingo coffee here. They don't have uniform...
