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.

Waiting a Day

We got up early this morning to check weather and get ready to leave.  The forecasts changed slightly  and the winds increased.  The winds are only 25, but from the direction we need to go for about 4-5 hours.  Then it will be beam seas.  And the temperature has dropped.  So though not terrible we would be miserable for most of the 30 hours we need to get to Hokkaido.  The forecasts tomorrow shows things a lot nicer.  Though we need to get moving soon, we delayed until tomorrow.  There are a couple of lows coming through mid week and we want to be tucked in before they hit.
