Magus is a 1971 Banjer 37 motorsailer, purchased by Albert and Jenny in 2008. The boat stayed in Salinas, Puerto Rico, on a mooring for the next 4 years. We visited each spring to do projects and sail around, including adventures to the Virgin Islands. In 2012, we brought her home to Maine. In 2016-17, we moved aboard for an extended cruise to the Abacos, Bahamas and eventually back. The adventures continue.

The rest of the cruise
We returned to Salinas on Monday, March 30, and did all the projects to put the boat on the mooring for the next 10 months or so. We put the dinghy away, and brought Magus to the mooring, borrowed another dinghy, and went to bed for a few hours. At 2 am, we got up and took the borrowed dinghy into the marina, put the outboard motor back on Fred's boat, and he gave us a ride to the airport in Ponce. He has been unbelievably helpful.
Here are links to some photos of the trip. Check out the one's at Erol's cabin on the east side of Jost. It's a very sweet place.
We spent a lot of time on Jost Van Dyke, most of it at Great Harbor. We took a trip to Road Town to get an extension on our immigration papers, so that was very interesting in a West Indian kind of way. We spent a night at Peter Island, where there were no other boats; this seems to be rare with all the charter boats around. Certainly, Great Harbor always had charter boats coming and going.
Anyway, if you want to hear the good stories, let me know.
