firstlilinoepic.jpg (96620 bytes) Lilinoe at dockside, Yokosuka Navy Base, Japan...this picture soon after purchasing her in March, 2002.
yokopierpic.jpg (72281 bytes) Again, dock side.  Gandara is the boat in front of Lilinoe. Gandara is a 40' all aluminum boat which I crewed Spring of '99 from Wake Island to Japan...Lilinoe was enroute from Hawaii to Japan; one week ahead of Gandara.
DSC00509.JPG (90668 bytes) 1st and 2nd mates on Lilinoe.  Tokyo Bay, Spring 2002.  2nd mate is hot blooded...always in t-shirt and shorts! 
DSC00510.JPG (89927 bytes) Over the bow of Lilinoe.  Note the island...this island is the one pictured in several Fuji Yacht advertisements.  It is Saura-shima (Monkey Island) and lies about a mile off the Yokosuka shore...
DSC00511.JPG (86143 bytes) Pointed north in Tokyo Bay.  Normally, all hands are on deck.  Traffic in/out of Tokyo-area ports averages 300 ocean carriers per day -- not to mention the numerous fishing vessels.  All eyes are needed!
DSC00512.JPG (90372 bytes) Dockside at Yokohama Bayside Marina.  Perhaps the largest, most modern marinas in Tokyo Bay.  Comes with full, western-style shopping mall (can you say Starbucks) and all kinds of boardwalk restaurants.
DSC00513.JPG (76776 bytes) Again, dockside at Bayside Marina.  Good view of Lilinoe topside...the blue "blobs" hanging off the railing are wetsuit top/bottom.  On this trip, snagged a fishing line.  2nd mate was volunteered to suit up and take care of it!
DSC00518.JPG (89191 bytes) Lilinoe stern view...as you can see, have monitor steering system.  My first experience with it and it works as advertised!
dsc00519.jpg (57250 bytes) Bow-on view...next morning, getting coffee and ready to head home.  Our first family over-night completed.
DSC00517.JPG (88965 bytes) Group shot of some boat owners at a pot-luck.  I'm furthest left, wearing blue shirt.
