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.

Well we finally made it.  After bragging about how things were going for the first 20+ hours they sure went not so nice after that.  The seas were a bit confused but still large enough to make pointing very high near impossible.  The winds were strong enough everything still needed to be double reefed then we ran into the 3.5 knot current that is famous around here but caught us completely unaware.  So we are here now, will sleep like rocks tonight I am sure as neither of us got much over the last 36 hours.

When we arrived we noticed a rather large vessel at the mouth of the bay.  They receive the fish from the boats fishing out here and transfer them back to port.  Talked on the radio a bit with them tonight, and hope to meet up with them tomorrow.
