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.

Dodged Another One

Well Typhoon Phanfone or number 18 has passed south of us at about four am this morning.  It managed to turn a little more south east so our wind wasn't bad.  Our instruments record average wind and that never went above 32 knots the gusts are usually a bit higher but even those didn't rouse me enough to get out of bed and check it.  The pressure bottomed out at 996 as well.  We are cleaning up doing laundry etc getting ready to start out on the third leg of the Setouchi Rally tomorrow.
