Once in a while we get to go on something of an adventure, a little of which follows...
At the end of 2004 Lena and I traveled to Indonesia and sailed for several weeks aboard the 35 meter Si'Lolona, a traditional wooden phinisi 'schooner' that we designed during 2001 - 2002. This was an excellent trip! If you'd like to discover more about our brief adventure in Indonesia, please check out the Si'Lolona Homecoming page.
During the second
quarter of 2006 Lena and I traveled to Indonesia to begin work on a
new 36 meter
Indonesian Motor Sailor, which is now under construction in
Kalimantan (Borneo). A few select images from that trip (and another
trip to Indonesia during 2001) can be seen at our web page on
Boatbuilding in Indonesia - A Photo Gallery.
For a bit of background about these vessels, please see our Phinisi History page.
