Friday morning update: the WaveRunner is still being evaluated, and I'm waiting to learn whether the GLiO 1000 journey can continue.

I'll share another update as soon as I know more. Thank you for all the encouragement, prayers, and support along the way. 🌊

The journey is temporarily on pause while we sort through an issue with the WaveRunner. Not the update I was hoping to share, but I’ll keep you posted as I learn more. Thanks for following along. 🌊

I'm paring down for the last 550 miles of my circumnavigation of Lake Michigan aboard a 12' WaveRunner. What stays, and what goes? Take a look at what made the cut before I head back out onto Lake Michigan this morning! 🌊

Tom goes through a ritual that involves the Garage Sale Buddha before heading back out on the water tomorrow morning.

Swipe through to see some of the moments from the journey so far. The miles keep adding up, but it's the familiar faces, new friends, and unforgettable conversations along the way that mean the most. Thank you to everyone who's welcomed me and been part of this adventure. 🌊
