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.

Getting Closer

After sitting in Guam for more than two years there is a lot to do before we depart for Japan.  The "To Do" list was quite long and we are doing a good job at ticking items off.  But as always this list keeps growing.  We have started making headliners for Sari Timur.  Something she never had.  This doesn't need to be finished but we want to see how it is going in order to purchase the items required here rather than Japan.  The new solar panels are in and we question why we didn't do this two years ago.  They work great and are already cutting down on generator time.  The new nav lights are going on today as is hopefully the headsail if the wind stays down.  We will do an overnight trip and test out the sails sometime next week.  No we won't sail overnight, Guam isn't that big!  We will sail down to one of the bays in the south and anchor out for the night.  When we come back we will probably head for the yacht club instead of the Harbour of Refuge.
