Stormy North East Toward Ice Free Bays
A coastal storm cleared ice along bay fringes after plunging to near ten degrees last Saturday. The Bristol yard harbor tug opened a channel in the Warrsh River as the Narragansett trawler began commercial fishing Tuesday after a Monday demo. Skipper Walter Worthington of Freetown leads the crew including Thomas Keeping and John Whalen Jr. The Ensign class gains momentum with Pearson plants producing over 200 boats this year and Fleet 4 of Narragansett Bay granted a charter. Avco Licenses Hustad controllable pitch propeller for hydrofoils and high speed craft with Lycoming engines, development to occur in Wilmington and Williamsport.
