About Me

My photo
Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
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 Close to Departure

Well we are getting closer to leaving.  Right now the barometer is dropping pretty good.  Once the low passes we will try to sail out on its coat tails before the next one comes along.  Unfortunately it looks like Friday afternoon is when it will be passing us.  We are a bit superstitious and a Friday departure is bad news.  So we would like to wait until Saturday morning.  First light is about 03:30 so hopefully we can still catch the winds to clear us away from Hokkaido and the Russian islands before we have to turn as the wind shifts.

To our fathers, happy Father's Day.  Katie and Travis have a great wedding, we are sorry we could not be there but we will be there in spirit.  We have your wedding gift on board and think you will like it.  Do us a favour and get a post card while on your honeymoon.

We are enjoying Kushiro, hopefully we will post some pics before we leave.
