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.

Blue Fiord

This morning we saw the smoke was still pretty strong, so we decided not to head off for anchorages further up the trail.  We were discussing what to do today, the fiord supposedly is famous for a breeze that either blows in or out.  So we decided to take the big boat rather than the dinghy.  We have been having some issues with the oil pressure gauge so Mark had been probing around the pressure gauge wires before we turned it off last night.  This morning when we fired up the engine the tachometer was intermittent so we figured he had damaged the field wire connection.  A quick check confirmed this and he made a quick temporary repair and we were off.  We had a great trip to the head of the fiord and had a pretty view of Ultramarine Glacier.  After we were back and anchored, Mark set out to replace the tach wire.  Pauline was on deck and noticed an eagle's nest with eaglets in it.  So once the wire was done there was time for watching the babies getting fed.
