I saw a twin mast vessel heading north on Narragansett Bay on Friday, too far away to tell, but setup appeared to be a Freedom. Love to see a boat on the water up here this time of year. It was warm for the time of year, low 50's, so must have been decent to just be out there!

tnltracy, It was me you saw solo sailing on Narragansett Bay on December 26th. I was returning from Prudence Island area to Pawtuxet Cove where Raven is docked (4hours round trip). The air temperature was a balmy 52 degF and the winds about 12 kts. The water temperatures are in the low 40's; so as a precaution I have sailed in a dry suit since early November. Raven will spend the winter in the water but I stripped the sails off on Saturday. I have some projects at home that will never get finished if Raven is ready to sail. I am hoping to be back on the water by April 1st. Have a fine sailing winter on Clave VF. Happy New Year! Be well.

Good to hear there's other Freedom's nearby and make connections! I just purchased my 1984 F32 this fall and will be keeping it in Warwick Cove. I live just up the road from Pawtuxet cove though and kept my last power boat there at Edgewood Marina on the mainland side.
