Paul and Marg's Adventures

Luxury and speed – a Lagoon is one of the leading Catamarans being built today. She is fast and comfortable for a crew of up to 8 people and its home sweet home for the next 2 months.

This is a just a glimpse of some of the places where we will be sailing…we will soon be capturing “real” pictures of the beautiful land, the azure water, and the people we meet! Stay tuned!

On Saturday, October 31, we  fly from Buffalo to Savannah GA and arrive at Thunderboldt Marina by sunset, ready to begin our sailing adventure! Thunderboldt Marina is located just east of Savannah, Georgia. Our skipper, Tom Melena, has “Sabbatical 2” readied and waiting.

About Our Trip

Our trip begins November 1, 2009 in Savannah, Georgia. We are sailing from the Thunderbolt Marine aboard a 2006 – 42 ft Lagoon catamaran named “Sabbatical 2″. We will travel down the Inter-coastal Waterway to Fort Lauderdale FL. and from there cross the Gulf Stream and sail to the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and then on to the British Virgin Islands. With many stops in between our start and finish the trip should take 2+ months of glorious sailing and exploring the islands and many secluded anchorages along the way. The BVI is considered to be one of the most beautiful sailing and diving locations in the world – and the Bahamas have some of the best beaches. How can you do better than that?

The purpose of this blog is to share our adventure with you through the journals, photographs, and videos we post here.
