About Me

My photo
Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
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.

Saw My First Sperm Whales

Again no pictures, sorry!  But we had a group of charterers on board Alii Nui and headed out looking for some bottlenose dolphins we had heard one of the other boats had seen within the last hour.  We couldn't find them but noticed a couple of whale plumes and headed over for a closer view.  Great to see it was a couple of sperm whales swinging by Guam on their passage.  We stayed with one of them for about 40 minutes before heading out fishing.
