Life Today

We have all read about the beginning of Luke, Mike and the Thinwolf's adventure, but how are they now? Well, so far they have traveled down the coast to Mexico, ran across the Pacific Ocean, passed the Marquesas, went through the Tuomatous, traveled amongst the other Pacific Islands and are now in Tahiti. Their total journey so far: 7,000 miles.
LUKE favorite aspect of the voyage so far was snorkeling in the crystal clear waters of the Tuomatous. Hundreds of kinds of different fish, and hundreds of different colors from the vibrant, healthy coral to the skillful sharks. And the lovely 94◦ degrees~ the warmest waters so far~. His paintings have been unfortunately not being produced. Why? He says life on the boat causes his artistic ability to not be in use, for sailing a quarter and eventually half way around the world causes a lot of distractions.
MIKE has enjoyed the sailing most of all. He has found surfing and snorkeling to be his greatest joys. And for this month of June, Mike is alone in Tahiti with the boat as Luke visits Port Townsend, Washington. During this time, he is attempting to fix the broken steering cable and getting angry at Luke because he is not there with him.
THINWOLF has been doing admirably well. Preforming at her high expectations.



I hope to keep you posted as I hear about the Thinwolfs: Mike and Luke~ adventure.
