We cruised our own Selene 53, Celebrate, some 14,000 nm over a 2-1/2 year period in 2003-2005 We have received over 25,000 visits to our
personal website, www.celebratecruising.com, which we maintained as a journal of our adventures and a place to share our Selene
experience. We met a lot of new friends at the cyber-dock!
In the course of our trip to China in November and December 2005, Jet Tern recruited us to establish a new dealership on the East Coast,
Selene Annapolis Yachts, LLC. We now serve Selene prospects and owners in the eastern US and Canada. We will be pleased to support your
process of selecting, designing, and commissioning a Selene anywhere in the region we serve. Cruisers from inland waters, the Great
Lakes, or other parts of the world are welcome, too, of course.
Andrea and Chuck Wistar, are no strangers to the trawler life and lifestyle. They have boated for most of their lives, and have owned
and cruised trawlers for the last 24 years. A Grand Banks 42 in 1983 followed by a Grand Banks 46 in 1987 was the foundation of more
than 20 years of adventure from Maine to the Keys, and over to the Bahamas.
A new 53' Selene Pilothouse Trawler, Celebrate, was their third trawler. After four years of seeking just the right boat for a planned
3-year "sabbatical," they learned Why Selene was their best choice and ordered one. They moved aboard in June 2003, left their
Annapolis home, and explored waters from Canada's Maritimes to the Far Bahamas. In the 2-1/2 years aboard they logged over 14,000 miles.
Their adventures are well chronicled on the website, www.celebratecruising.com, which they maintained for the entire time.
More recently, PassageMaker Magazine chronicled their Summer, 2004 cruise of the St. Lawrence River and the Canadian Maritimes, better
known as the Down East Circle Loop, in its October, 2005 issue.
Chuck has held a 100 Ton USCG Master's License for nearly 15 years. While boating has been a life's avocation, his business background
is significant with 40 years of experience starting and growing companies in a variety of industries. He has most often served as CEO
or COO, has a solid financial background, is strong in marketing, and prides himself on putting the customer first.

Andrea holds a graduate degree in Economics, but puts her people and organizational skills to work most often - originally as a project
manager / consultant to oversee large information systems implementations. In recent years she has served as an adviser to companies on
strategic planning, teambuilding, and change management. She is certified as an executive coach and maintained an active practice even
while cruising. At Selene Annapolis, Andrea oversees all marketing and administrative operations.
