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.

Bechevin Bay, Atka, Alaska

Position  N 52 d 01.964
         W 175 d 07.820

We just anchored in Bechevin Bay in Atka.  A fleet of us (four boats) set out from Adak this morning.  We had really light winds until just after lunch and then they started to build and keep building until we finally arrived here and were glad to have the sails down as we approached the anchorage.  

Adak was a lot of fun thanks to all the wonderful people we met there.  Especially Alain and Carrie who are going to be starting a B&B here catering to nature lovers.  Mike who laid on a bunch of halibut for us, TWICE!!!, and Elaine who wasn't even there and Clay the guy we talked to over the radio in Kiska who graciously volunteered an address for us in Dutch Harbor to ship our inverter to.

We got to see a lot in Adak our first Golden Eagle, Ptarmigan, and Sea Otters and lots more.  After arriving here we were greeted by a small seal who keeps playing around the boat.

We hope to make our way to Martin Harbor tomorrow which is slightly over 30 miles away.
