Syren Update

Joe and David (his new crew mate) are in Nuku'alofa, Tonga. They plan to leave for northern New Zealand, Opua Marina on November 1st. They will then head down to Auckland. I can't wait to get down there!

Beautiful Sunsets From Bora Bora

These pics were taken by Ryan on board Syren...magnificent!

A trip to Bora Bora would not be complete without a drink at Bloddy Mary's!

Syren in the South Pacific

Gorgeous!
I guess Syren is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

Huahine

I finally got some pictures from the crew on Syren. Ryan and Helene are with Joe sailing the south seas. It is beautiful there....I must admit I'm a little envious now!

Cruising...

Ok, I have to admit I do wish I was there right now....this is a picture of Cook's Bay on Moorea taken by our new friends on S/V Destiny. The days on the boat that are like this are absolutely wonderful. However, it's the days when the generator is broken, or the watermaker won't work or the anchor won't hold that I just can't seem to handle. I

know, I admit it, I'm a fair-weathered sailor. Period.
Joe has been having all these mechanical problems of late and is frustrated. He has some new crew coming on board today and hopefully the boat will take a break from breaking and they can get some cruising in!

Syren Sails to the South Pacific!

Rangiroa.......one of the largest atolls in the world!

Syren and her crew sailed 3,300 miles to Nuka Hiva, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. It took them 18 days! Their next Stop was Rangiroa, in the Tuamoto Archipalego and then on to Tahiti. Adrienne and Alex caught up with Joe in Tahiti and spent 8 days there. We drove all around Tahiti (75 miles) and also took the ferry over to Moorea. We also drove all around the island there (36 miles). The lagoon is beautiful. We ran out of time though and would have liked to see more. Perhaps we will meet up with Joe in some other tropical location?
