April 18 -21, 2024 - Roche Harbor

We had a wonderful Selene Owners' Rendezvous with a full agenda celebrating the 25th anniversary of Selene Yachts!  Howard Chen, Selene Designer, Founder and CEO was in attendance making this a special event.  This event was co-lead by myself and co-leader, Bee Hanson, with HUGE support from my life partner Lois!

We had 75 attendees, representing 38 boats, with over 20 sponsors in attendance!  Six of the boats were virtual as the owners were in attendance, but the boats were not (a result of their traveling significant distance to attend the event).

January 11,  2023 - Van Isles, BC - On the hard Prior to arriving to Philbrook's we had started a dialogue regarding the work list, along with photos, to help with estimating and pre-planning.  This was useful as I was able to ensure that the parts (transducers and paint) were available and transported them with us avoiding any lead time issues or transportation cost associated with a border crossing. Our project manager, Ian, checked in with us first thing on Monday.  Ian promply started introducing us to the leads responsible for the work packages.  The whole process was very professional with good collaboration.  I was able to walk through each item of my list with the appropriate lead and discuss details.  Immediately after being hauled out we had people on the boat starting work on various projects. Servicing of the salon compressor was completed prior to haul-out with just a topping off of the refrigerant to account for the cooler NW climate, versus t...

August 18, 2025 - Gowland Harbour

August 18, 2025 - Gowland Harbour We got a good start and made our transit through Seymour Narrows near slack, making our way to Gowlland Harbour where we found many boats at anchor, including  Hodor  and  Lonian  (owned by Lorenzo Fertittta).   Hodor  is the “supply ship” to  Lonian  carrying all sorts of toys.  The next morning, we exchanged greetings with  Harvest Moon  who had anchored late in the afternoon the previous day.
