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.

Onomichi

After visiting the museum in Omishima, we headed out for nearby Onomichi.  This is a beautiful run up through a narrowish channel looking much like a scenic river cruise.  The problem was we had to fight a 3-4 knot current almost the whole way.  We arrived at a quarter past five and were told to get ready for the party at six!  Our kind of arrival!  Today we walked through several temples and shrines.  We also got a good picture of part of the way we traveled to get here.  Will post once we get better internet service.

View of our route from Omishima to Onomichi, beautiful!

Onomichi is a movie town, lots of Japanese movies were made there

There is supposedly a thousand Buddhas in this shrine
