Inland Sailor Plans A Voyage As Starter On His Education
Theodore Conover, a former sailor from Jackson Michigan, plans to sail his converted 28-foot whale boat from the Ohio River to the Mississippi then to the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa to attend the University of Tampa. He converted the craft with town help including a pump impeller as a propeller and a 34-foot mast, and keeps Caribbean and South American charts for future voyages. He aims to anchor near the college upon arrival and pursue lectures and travel after college, though he jokes that his main worry is whether the boat will float.
