Syren Sails to the South Pacific!





Rangiroa.......one of the largest atolls in the world!









Syren and her crew sailed 3,300 miles to Nuka Hiva, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia. It took them 18 days! Their next Stop was Rangiroa, in the Tuamoto Archipalego and then on to Tahiti. Adrienne and Alex caught up with Joe in Tahiti and spent 8 days there. We drove all around Tahiti (75 miles) and also took the ferry over to Moorea. We also drove all around the island there (36 miles). The lagoon is beautiful. We ran out of time though and would have liked to see more. Perhaps we will meet up with Joe in some other tropical location?

Alex Gets His Yellow Belt!


Alex has successfully achieved the rank of yellow belt in Taekwondo. "The seed is beginning to see the sunlight." He's doing really well at his new sport. We are very proud of him!
