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.

We Arrived in Hampton

Wow what a cold night.  We arrived this morning at Blue Water Marina.  The temps overnight were in the low negatives Celsius.  Burrrr Cold!  Even the dock worker who came to grab our lines and check us in was wrapped up like the Michelin Man including balaclava.  It warmed a little this afternoon and is really supposed to warm on Wednesday.  We are trying to get out of here as soon as we can though.  Tomorrow the winds are down and from the south.  Ideal for getting out, but they intensify by the evening and will be against us for over three days, according to tonight's forecast.  We will check again in the morning.  Might be better to hold one more day.  Problem is we are now paying marina fees so more incentive to get out of Hampton early.
