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.

We Think We Are Outta Here

The car is dropped off with friends, all the stuff we intend to take with us is onboard.  Some lashing still needs to be done, but we will make it a short trip tomorrow so can finish up under way.  The diver showed up at nine last night to grease the prop and change the zincs so that is done.  Not many places in the world would you be able to start a project at nine at night, and then go out with some friends for a couple hours of fishing.  Danny and Yvonne, whom we met in Palau, work summers in Talkeetna. They drove over to visit before we left.  The kings and red salmon are just starting their runs so Danny was keen to try his luck.  So two nights in a row we were up until after midnight.  But at this time of year in Seward it is not even twilight yet!

Not sure where tomorrow's destination will be.  Probably Anchor Cove in Day Harbor, but we are toying with going to one of the harbors here in Resurrection Bay, which would make a real short first day out.  We do want to leave early morning before the onshore breeze kicks in because we will need to do some fancy warping to get out of our little cubby hole.  When we first came our berth was pretty open, then they put a fifty plus foot motor boat in front of us.  We are at the inner most part of two arms that are meant for thirty footers.  So two fifty plus boats nose to nose is tight!
