Welcome to Shearwater-Sailing
The early adventures of Stu,
Elizabeth Anne and the cats aboard
Shearwater II
Launching, Commissioning, Outfitting and Crossing
We set off
for Puerto Rico via Culebra. It was a delightful down wind sail. Shearwater
loves her spinnaker with the birds flying high. We settled into the Puerto del
Rey Marina near Fajardo. Provisioning in Puerto Rico was a delight. It is a
lush, diverse country and we fell in love with it. One day we rented a car and
took off for the rainforest. Along the way we stopped to see waterfalls and had
lunch at a pleasant little park by a waterfall.
January flew by. Where? Who knows. But,
we've been having fun. St John is lovely. There are so many bays and reefs to
explore. There hasn't been a bad day for sailing and the new friends we've met
are a lot of fun. Take a look at our photos on the
January - February 2003 page.
Domino has been busy
catching little silver fishes off of the back of the boat. Jez doesn't like to
get her feet wet. So, she is glad Domino is willing to share her catch. Well,
most of the time. They also work very hard on the nap thing! Poor little boat
cats!
The holidays were
grand. We were fortunate to have our Julie with us for Christmas. We also
enjoyed the company of our friends Bill and Dabney Hart and Marianne and Steve
Phillips. There are many pictures on the Christmas
Holidays page. Just after the New year,
We visited with friends Karen and Brian Beaver, Laura and Ollie Burt and Julie
and Steven Cooper.
Shearwater has carried us
24,000 miles across mother ocean. If you would like to learn more about our
adventures during the past two and a half years visit Our
Voyages pages.
Santa
brought Stu a digital camera with an
underwater housing. Now, in addition to having more pictures with Elizabeth
Anne in them, we can show you the spectacular underwater life we see. We
created a page to show you what what lies beneath.
If you are visiting our
site because you are a current or potential Voyage Yacht owner you simply must
visit the Voyage Yacht Owners Group at MSN Groups. It is a free, unmoderated
discussion group started by a few of us with common interest. We invite your
comments, questions and hopefully the Group will prove to be a very valuable
reference. If you wish to visit the site
