We sail on Mark Twain Lake, near Hannibal,
Missouri (Quincy, IL). Sometimes we trailer her to
other lakes, but this is our homeport. Kokomo is
named after the song by the same name, not Kokomo, Indiana, but a place
to get away from it all. When we leave the dock, it's usually two nights
before we return. So she's like a floating condo and we sail, swim,
cook, etc., and live aboard.
Photo #1 was taken during a light wind when one of us took the rubber
inflatable, "Babyboat", away for some shots with
the spinnaker up. It is not easy to take boat photos
when you are aboard! We have tried. Photo #2 was
taken along the bluffs by a friend. Great picture of the first
mate, but they accidentally cut off the top of the mast!!! Power Boaters,
U No, -No brainers. #3 This photo shows Kokomo on
autopilot. NOTE: Where is the skipper and his first
mate? #4 This photo is Kokomo II, our off-season
toy. She is over five feet tall and was slowly, but
painstakingly built by the Captain. She drafts 6 inches and
has never run aground. She can be maneuvered from shore and needs very
little maintenance. Definitely a dry sailor! |
