Presidential Vacations & Retreats: President Kennedy Yachting

President Kennedy was at the helm of Manitou, sailing off the coast of Maine, August 12, 1962. He was never happier than when at the tiller of a sailboat, steering the course, chomping on a small cigar, lunching on fish chowder, and bantering with family and friends.
