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.

Still Here

For those of you checking our positions and blog.  It is true we have not moved.  We are still waiting on the inverter.  By the way if ordering from West Marine do not pay for 2 day FedEx.  Our package was shipped via surface!  This means it took two weeks to get from Utah to Anchorage and it will take another two weeks to get from Anchorage to Dutch Harbor as there is only one ship per week and it missed the first ship.  We have been assured that it is on the ship arriving tomorrow and therefore we should have it by Monday.  But we have been assured before that it would have been here two weeks ago.  Not to mention we paid for it to be here 4 weeks ago!  A calamity of errors but at least it is physical close (supposedly).

Anyway once we have it we are making fast tracks for the mainland.  For three reasons, first we are way behind schedule, second Laura and Steve are coming to visit us on the 24th and we have to be some where before that so we can meet them in Anchorage, and lastly the super typhoon that is hitting Taiwan is going to break up then send a nasty bunch of weather across the North Pacific towards us by about Thursday next week so we want to be some where a bit protected.  It is very protected here but we still have some ways to go before we get some protection again.  So we will be moving quickly once we start.  So those of you who are checking keep watching the markers should start moving soon.

  1. Hi Pauline and Mark I sincerly hope the part arrives this time so you are able to continue your journey. You must be quite frustrated over this time delay,which I can understand, and how it has put you well behind your scheduled plans.
    I have my fingers crossed for you!
    Happy sailing once again.
