In 2006 Meg, a Canadian, and I, Elena – a Russian – crossed half the planet to be together and free.
The journey has never ended. Our escape not only opened up the world for us, it also liberated us from the programming and rituals of society. We, no longer, can live without personal freedom, and we are thrilled to travel the world in search of new adventures and friends.

New chapter up on CONVERGENCE. Calling it, "Cut to the Chase" -- describes Elena @lenna taking the lead, and putting a scam artist to task in Odessa, Ukraine.

Another few steps in the crazy, year-long adventure, and run-for-our lives to stay together... and NOT dead.

This post should be read with a proper, English accent.
Make no mistake about it! Just because I am posting CONVERGENCE chapters, to beat the band. Infers, in no way whatsoever, that we are safe, on land, being proper and in our place.
No, no, no, and noooo! Our next breath could be seawater, our next heartbeat our last. This is life, this is adventure, this is love!

Dear CONVERGENCE subscribers!
The membership plugin has been overwhelmed and packed it in. I could rant about software, but I would prefer readers, ignited to take back their lives, and living their love (like we did, and are doing).
To that end, I AM TAKING DOWN THE PAYWALL on all of CONVERGENCE.
I would, however, still like to be paid for my work, and hosting costs. If you have subscribed, THANK YOU, your interest means everything to us, but some coin is also very much appreciated. If you haven't, and would like to pay for this work, the PayPal link is still provided.

CONVERGENCE readers! Chapter 16 "Getting the Hell Out Of Dodge" -- photos and captions, are now available on [link src="https://elenameg.com/convergence
Why"]? You may ask, after such an egregious delay, full-color, suitable for framing, awe-inspiring photographs and captions should appear on the CONVERGENCE site. It's because I managed to resurrect my computer. Million-to-one shot, let me tell you, but using scraps and pieces of computers past, and the mangled remains of this one, I have created a reanimated zombie-top computer.
Apart from getting really, really hot and smelling a bit like brimstone, my Franken-computer goes really well with this steam punk style I'm kinda into.

There is a highly technical, meteorological term for the type of weather we are experiencing: it sucks! Actually, it's so sucky, it defies human comprehension.
In layman's terms: we are stuck in a perpetual gale. The wind never let's up. And it's not a gentle, merciful breeze that keeps the bugs down. Nooooo, it's a howling, rip-roaring, gusty blast that pulls the snot right from your nose and plasters it in your hair. The only sailing one does now, is unintentional when the anchor rips out, or the windlass clutch slips at three in the freaking morning.
It's too windy to launch the dingy. Swimming's suicide in this chop. So, we are stuck on board. Hoping we don't starve to death, or die of boredom, before the wind lets up.
We're anchored in a big bay; dozens of boats are hiding from the blast in it. We are probably the biggest (deepest), thus, we keep to deeper water, further from shore. Mercifully, all the "cruisers" are clotted together, close in to a trash-heap of a settlement, and safely (and comfortably) far away from us, exercising their insurance policies (if they have any), dragging into each other, no doubt.
Got some pretty big news coming up... soon! Will get it up on the blog ASAP.
No idea when, where, or if, we can come in from the sea -- we're working on that. Believe me, we are working on that all the time. Keeping spirits up, living every day as fully as we can, making every heartbeat count, and having one heck of a great adventure along the way.
NASA should hire us as consultants for deep-space missions.
That's the news, for now. I need another half-liter of coffee!

CONVERGENCE readers! I've been getting material posted with an 8" android tablet. Let's just say, it's a bit like sweeping out a barn with a toothbrush! Rewrites of chapters 14 & 15 are posted along with photos and captions for chapter 15.

We're winding our way back to the seriously-off-the-beaten-path Bahamas: the extreme southeast islands and cays; the desolate, raw edge of this sunken archipelago; places with no signs of tourist infestation. We'll try to find fuel and groceries in the eczema cays, on our way back to the Bahamas that counts! Then we'll be on our way back to Turks and Caicos for an expletive filled meeting or two (and to buy me another computer!) and then, who knows? This is adventure, liberation and how life should be! Not a heartbeat wasted.
