Our Mutual Friend aka Vanessa

Well we've finally finished posting the locations for all of Season 4. We know we're still a season behind, but we're working on it bit by bit. In the mean time, we recently were out on the ocean and lo and behold we saw a very familiar looking sailboat. We snapped a few pics, and when we came home compared them with screencaps and confirmed our suspicion that we had indeed found Desmond & Penny's second sail boat, the "Our Mutual Friend", otherwise known IRL as the "Vanessa". The Vanessa is a magnificent Beneateau 57 sailboat that we believe is the one used in Lost. As further evidence, it is moored over at the Waikiki Yacht Harbor, which was a filming location this past Season 5 when Sun attempts to shoot Ben. We also believe it was the location for 5x03 when Penny gives birth to her son, but we haven't had a chance to compare screencaps with photos of the piers yet.

So now we have a conundrum. In our previous blog post, we thought the boat from Lost was the "Kanaloa", also a Beneteau 57, moored over at Ko'olina. But now, it might be the Beneteau 62 "Vanessa" at Waikiki Yacht Harbor. We don't know which one yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we find out. But by the shape of the windscreen (or whatever you call the plastic windshield thing), we're guessing it's the Vanessa.

Anyways please enjoy these photos as a teaser as we begin working on posting locations for Season 5.
