Jabberwocky
is a Freedom 28 sailboat, hull
# 24,designed by Gary Mull, and built by TPI (now by Freedom
Yachts) in 1987. She spent her early years on the New Jersey
coast and in Raritan Bay until we brought her through New York
Harbor, up the East River, past Hell Gate and out Long Island
Sound and back to New England in May, 1998.
Our cruising grounds are Buzzards Bay, the Elizabeth Islands, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. On the horizon are Block Island and Maine.
We sold Jabberwocky in December, 2004;
she's now at Stingray Point, Deltaville, VA. She will have been
sailed to and through the major bays of the Northeast. Built
in Narragansett Bay, sailed from Barnegat Bay to Long and Block
Islands, then from New Jersey to Buzzards Bay and up to Penobscot
Bay. And now the Chesapeake!

The crew: Charis, Nan, Laurie and Dave P. (and Dave E. behind
the camera) - note the light clothing, typical of Florida in
the winter - this is why we Northeners come down?
