    To Anegada: spectacular sailing and a famous spot for lobsters

    ByEileen Ogintz January 23, 2012July 12, 2021

    This island—just 3 miles wide at its widest point—is famous for its lobsters that many fisherman here catch by free diving as deep as 60 feet. Sailors like us (we’ve been sailing around the BVI on a Moorings charter Catamaran) make the trip here for the lobsters as well as the spectacular wind-swept beaches.

    ByEileen Ogintz January 20, 2012July 12, 2021

    The advantage here—besides the privacy and the chance to putter in the kitchen yourself—is that you aren’t paying $5 each time a child wants a virgin colada or $15 for the real thing.

    A whirlwind tour of Hong Kong over the holidays

    ByEileen Ogintz January 19, 2012July 16, 2021

    I can’t believe I’m here. Hong Kong’s famous Victoria Harbor watches as I try to follow William Ng, a 75-year-old Tai Chi master, as he introduces about 20 of us to the ancient art of Tai Chi or “shadow boxing.”
