I've seen what I think is a beautiful replica of the Pilar a couple of times cruising through our very own channel. The picture accompanying this post is of the real Pilar that I snagged off the internet. I read that Tommy Lee Jones is making a movie based on Hemingway's novel, Islands in the Stream. Could Port Aransas be the 'undisclosed location' referenced in this article about the movie? Don't get too excited, the movie is supposed to be filmed in Puerto Rico. It might be fun to spot Tommy Lee Jones in and around town if he needs to spend some hands-on time with the boat. Sounds like a good movie that I look forward to seeing!
