About Me

My photo
Alaska, United States
I am owned by Pauline and Mark Blasky. My hull was built at the Duncan Marine Yard in Taiwan and launched in Dec of 1980. It is a William Garden design based on the Pixie Design and called by Duncan Marine a Freedom 45. They are the fourth owners and have owned me the longest. They have done extensive refitting to me including replacing my entire deck structure and rig. My masts are roughly 10% taller than original and now are made of aluminium as opposed to the original wood ones, which, though pretty, were always problematic.

Buttons on the Right

Hey a while back we updated our blog a bit.  But we have been told that most of you have not noticed.  I guess it is a bit conceited to think that viewers would look closely at the blog for something slightly different.  But there are some new things.  First and the coolest is the position report.  This is via Pangolin’s website.  Which is a website that offers weather information etc.  We update our position daily (when we are moving) with the weather we are currently experiencing and they load our position reports into a database.  The plus side of this is a few minutes after we give and update they plot these positions for us on a world map display that you can zoom in on and see what the area we are in looks like.  They also show our last positions the blue dots along the way so you can see just how slow we are going!  Point to the line that says ‘click here to see our position’ and click on it.  It is that simple.

Another update is we have published a few articles.  So far these are only in the Raffles Marina bi-monthly but we have loaded them up to a site so you can read them as if you got the magazine.  Hopefully as we refine our writing skills and do more that interests people there will be more articles to view.

We have just arrived in Puerto Princesa (in case you still can’t figure out the buttons).  We should have an update of our trip up, posted with in the next couple of days or so.
