Comment on Bill of Rights Finds a Home! by Whitney

I spent the summer of 1984 as an apprentice crew member on board the Bill of Rights. We sailed weeklong cruises out of Newport for around 20 guests. We would sail the Elizabeth Islands, Fisher’s Island, Block Island, Martha’s Vineyard, and sometimes out as far as Nantucket, depending on the wind and the tides. At the time, it didn’t have an engine, we would use our launch to push the boat if we couldn’t get somewhere under sail. I was 15 at the time and it was a formative experience in my life. I’m glad to see that she has been rescued and resuscitated.

We canceled an event a few weeks only to have a wonderful afternoon…it’s always so hard! I always suggest to members to bring a movie when they come to sail…if the weather isn’t conducive to sailing, it’s fun to watch a movie like Master and Commander on board a rolly boat.
