FURTHUR

BOAT NAME: Furthur BOAT TYPE: Selene 48 SKIPPER: Brian Calvert EXPERIENCE: 47 Years CLUB: Queen City YC BUILT: 2005 PURCHASED: 2005
FAVORITE DESTINATION: West Side of Vancouver Island. Amazing wildlife, rugged terrain, remote anchorages and hot springs.

ABOUT THE CREW: Capt. Brian Calvert has been boating since a child. With years of experience in the Northwest and from Cabo to Seattle, including six coastal trips, three circumnavigation's of Vancouver Island and four trips to Alaska.

WHAT'S IN A NAME: "FURTHUR" Furthur was the name on the bus that Ken Keisey and the Merry Pranksters did a cross country road trip in 1964. The events were recorded in Tom Wolfe's "Electric Koolaid Acid Test". The name was spelled wrong on most of the trip--hence the second "u". I always planned on this as a name for a long range boat.
REASON FOR PURCHASING THIS BOAT: The Selene is the best long range trawler on the market-- of course this comes from one who has sold them for ten years.
PREVIOUS BOATS OWNED: 1972 40' Monk trawler, many sailboats.
INTEREST IN THE FUBAR ODYSSEY: The camaraderie, traveling and meeting like minded boaters.
