Sea Nation

Leaving New York City behind, Megan and her family pack their belongings and head to the Caribbean to join the rest of the crew and their Captain, Diego, on his boat, Mangusta. St. Lucia with its vibrant markets and lively people welcomes them before they head further south to St. Vincent where they explore Spring Village and mingle with the locals.

Dominica has anointed itself "The Nature Island" and that it is. From lush rainforests to waterfalls, to sleeping in a tree, Dominica offers the cleanest air and freshest perspective on living a stress-free life naturally. Its population has the highest longevity in the Western hemisphere and the island imparts it's secrets to the fountain of youth.

Due to unseasonably strong winds and damages to the boat, Megan and crew are forced to make a stop in one of the most visited islands in the Caribbean: St. Martin. She goes off to explore one of the island's last untouched areas, eco-resort Loterie Farm. After grooving at a Carnival street party, she heads to the island dump to explore the alternative of recycling and eco-friendly materials.

Left high and dry in the middle of the Caribbean without a boat, Megan continues on, resolute in her commitment to finish what she's begun. She travels to Anguilla for the annual Anguilla Regatta. With that comes a little Sea Nation style networking, which involves a Greek, 3 Knights and a former Prime Minister! The community rallies and she finds a new Captain and a Boat!

After hitchhiking to St. Thomas on a multi-million dollar megayacht, Megan decides to take a little R&R and indulges in the art of the super resort. Afterward, she heads to neighboring St. John to explore the laidback island flavor before talking with a National Park Service scientist about coral bleaching and the head of VIERS - the Virgin Islands Environmental Resource Station.

With the wind back in the sails and Captain Billy behind the wheel, Megan explores the famous British Virgin Islands, complete with Foxy's Wooden Boat Regatta in Jost Van Dyke and the last batch of hardcore sailors left in the region. At Foxy's she races on the world-famous Wild Horses racing yacht and then heads to Tortola to meet the regional legend, Aragorn, at his beachside artists' commune.

Having compared turquoise waters in over 15 islands already, Megan is on a mission to find a mission. From the natural wonder of the Baths of Virgin Gorda to flamingo stalking on Anegada to a visit to the laid-back tropical enclaves of Culebra, Megan adds another dimension to the journey. She ends up finding inspiration where she least expects it.

With its combination of Caribbean history, Spanish influence and US government ties, Puerto Rico is a place that feels both familiar and foreign. Megan takes in the stunning scenery - beaches, natural reserves, the charming locals, before heading to Arecibo Observatory, home of the world's largest radio telescope.
