     There’s a good reason the stories of King Kong and Jurassic Park were set on Indonesia’s islands. They’re wild — particularly experienced aboard a phinisi[.] […] Silolona and Si Datu Bua are aptly named: the former after a beloved local god; the latter meaning “beloved princess”. In the yachting world the pair are celebrities. Known as two of the most beautiful phinisis ever made, they were hand-hewn from ironwood and teak, and made to measure for their American-born, Indonesiaphile owner, Patti Seery, over 20 years ago.
