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.

We are in Guam

Just a short note to let everyone know that we arrived yesterday 7th August at 1530 hours.  It was mostly a good trip, certainly fast.  A few tropical squalls with lots of rain but nothing bad.  We did have a couple of glorious days and starry nights.  We lost the engine charging system 24 hours from Guam but otherwise no dramas. The seas were quite lumpy the last 24 hours and there is a depression east of us, which was why we kept going fast rather than stop along the way.  As we write this blog, we are waiting for Guam customs to clear us in.  We did immigration yesterday.  Later, we will be going into town and try to rent a wreck plus get the lay of the land, get a phone number, etc.  More later.
