Les Dobbe's photograph of "Kasekuchen" wins top honors in Power Cruising magazine competition

Selene 53 owner Les Dobbe ("Voyager") took this stunning photograph of our Selene 53, "Kasekuchen," as we were leaving San Jose del Cabo, Mexico during the FUBAR ODYSSEY 2007. Our sister ship, John and Kathy Youngblood's Selene 53, "Mystic Moon," is in the lead.

Titled "Morning Departure," Dobbe's photographic captivated judges for Power Cruising magazine's FUBAR photo competition with its warm tones and mystical feel -- and it was named best of the competition. Congratulations to Les!

Welcome to 2008! Have a happy New Year!

To all our cruising friends and to all the Selene owners with whom we have not yet had an opportunity to cruise -- Bob & I wish you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

This wonderful photograph was taken during the FUBAR Odyssey 2007 by Ron Weed, one of our crew members on "Kasekuchen," He took the photograph when we were between Ensenada, Mexico and LaPaz, Mexico. "Kasekuchen" was one of seven Selene Trawlers that participated in the rally.
