The Thinwolf Quote

Click on the title of this post, to hear Luke's recitation of the Thinwolf Quote by Paul Gauguin as delivered Friday March 14, 2008 aboard ship during Bon Voyage Party #1 (#1 - as we all expect and look forward to more). Thanks to Eric Durfy for the fine on-board recordings.

Thinwolf Bon Voyage Party #1

Last night standing in the dewy dark with the moonlit beach Stig & I stood with wet sand under our feet watching the siloutte of ThinWolf as it was in it’s place at last, rocking gently with two mast lights glowing one in the middle and on top.
Luke paddled to shore to find Stig with his guitar and I and my hard wear. We ever so carefully climbed into the small rubber boat, paddles gently pulling us across the black water, away forever timeless..onto a taste, a voyage of freedom..
toasts were made, drums, percussion, bird whistles and beautiful vocal sounds of all kinds reverberated in surround sound through what was the heart of Thin wolf~

More Scenes from Thin Wolf's Launching

Our launching was attended by many of Port Townsend's finest citizens and some scalawags. Behind the camera for the following photos (so, unfortunately you don't get to see her) is Julie Knott, 2007 runner-up for Port Townsend citizen of the year. Thanks for the photos, Julie!

In addition to being Thin Wolf's ship's musician, Stig has been the most faithful of Thin Wolf's followers, often helping us out on the boat, particularly around happy hour.

Stephen helped us out around the boat yard when he wasn't at school, which was pretty much everyday.

For some reason Julie thought this was a good photo, something about showing off our good side? Just looks like a gang of boat yard workers to me.

Determined to launch. The tide waits for no man.

In addition to having the reputation as a safe, efficient passage maker, the Kelly-Peterson 44 also performs well as a cocktail party barge.

Jeane swung the champagne bottle, with fine form, and actually broke the bottle on the first hit. The 72 pound anchor didn't even flinch when struck -- but Luke and I sure did, worried that the bottle could blow up in Jeane's face or that Thin Wolf could be scratched.

The gang at P.T. Rigging calls us Calvin and Hobbs. I'm thinking we are more reminiscent of Wayne and Garth. Party On!

And here's a health to Thin Wolf.

Jeane the champagne princess.

Justin, rigger extraordinare and future Thin Wolf (?).
