What a good-looking, capable boat! How did you get the Cape Horn photo? Was there another boat rounding at the same time? Or was one of you in the Dinghy??
Lovely vessel! We met a sister Lion Class sloop on Cocos Keeling Island in the Indian Ocean many years ago - she had completed a world circumnavigation - such a capable and gorgeous boat!
What a fantastic boat! Fun to see a lovely varnished hull gunkholing around Unalaska! It's such a small place, you might know our friends Andy and Daneen who own s/v ROSE? We kept our CELESTE in Unalaska for two winters. Thanks for sharing, hope to cross paths whenever we get back up there!
What a lovely boat and a wonderful story! It's people and boats like yours that make cruising such a special experience - people who've put their love and passion into one-of-a-kind vessels that speak to their personalities so well.

Thank you for sharing PILAR and your remarkable story!
Thank you so much, Diane! Sorry I didn't reply earlier - had some trouble logging in. Your PILAR is such a lovely, special boat! It is still very difficult to keep a boat in Hilo long-term, sadly, so yes, we bounce around the Pacific. Our shore base is on the Big Island, but we live aboard CELESTE a little less than half the year - we just sailed home from French Polynesia where we'd spent 3 years. We'll spend at least another year or so in Hawaii, bouncing around, before we'll probably head up to Alaska again. Someday we'd like...
