Manual Entry

"Eluvtheria" Freedom 40

Sint Maarten to Warren, RI. Back to the yard where she was built for an extended refit after many years Island hoping in the Caribbean. Strange rig, free standing mast with a self tacking jib. First time sailing with Capt Richard Pook after a few months working project boats in sxm after Hurricane Irma. Great company and stories from him, and best food I've ever eaten underway.
