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.

Kushiro

Position N 42 58.897. E 144 23.004

Well the remote post worked.  Not sure yet which sister to give the credit too.  They are both very busy right now so it was a hit or miss if they even saw it.  But one of them posted it from Michigan.  As neither live there we are not sure who it was.  But thanks!

Well, we arrived at about 11 last night in the very dark and very foggy.  We crept in barely moving as we could not see the walls and the entrance is quite narrow.  There were lights on the ends and that is what saved us, we could sort of make out the looms as we passed them.  Once in the harbor the fog thinned a bit so we could figure out the river and where to tie up.  This place looks very interesting and we are nice and snug in here.

Had a few issues on this trip, will check them out before we leave.  Next stop will be Alaska.  A boat turned around last year after leaving early but this year one boat has already left.

We  hope to spend a couple of days here.  There is a low that looks like it will be passing about that time so it will be constant weather checks for the next few days to get a feeling how the weather is behaving.

There are 6 yachts tied up here, all waiting to go to Alaska.  It is the most yachts that Kushiro had seen in recent years.
