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.

Cascade Bay

Position   N  60 d  54.80
          W 147 d  48.64

Talk about a great welcome to a beautiful anchorage.  As we were dropping anchor we spotted a black bear with a salmon in his mouth on the beach in front of us.  There is a little waterfall right next to us and  a larger beautiful waterfall just a little bit away.  Cascade Falls is one of the most outstanding waterfalls in the Sound.  It is not quite up to the way it was hyped but it is still one of the prettiest falls we have seen.  We hopped in the dinghy after arriving to head off over to the falls for some better photos.  On the way back we slipped back over by the shore near our boat and again found a mother and her cub feeding on salmon.  There is supposed to be two trails from the beach here up to the lake but with all the bears that we see around here we are not so sure we are going to dig around looking for it.

There is a bear on the left of the stream and another on the right


But we do plan to spend two nights here.  So maybe tomorrow we might gain some nerve.
