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.

Merry Christmas

A very Merry Christmas to you.

Mark left Seward on Monday, December 17 and they were supposed to bring the barge all the way to Seattle but due to bad weather, had to put into Yakutat.  The Captain and Mate flew home for Christmas, while Mark and another crew are left on the tug.  They will be there till after Christmas and will continue with their trip down to Seattle

It will be a quiet Christmas for Pauline, who will be working.

By the way, we did not get our act together this year to churn out our annual Christmas letter.  We are not sure if it will get done.  Our year did not include sailing on Sari Timur but lots of trips were made on airplanes and for Mark, on the tug as well.
