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.

Back in Sitka

Mark is back in Sitka.  They finally grabbed a weather window and had a good trip across the Gulf of Alaska and then on to Seattle.  He got to meet up with Tayler for drinks and dinner while in Seattle.  He stored a suitcase of his work clothes with her so he hopes to meet up when he returns to take the barge back north.

Pauline is enjoying her new job.  She is working at the First National Bank of Alaska here in Sitka.

Sitka has had a record amount of snowfall this year.  When we got here everyone talked us out of doing the igloo.  But Mark is quite bummed as he could have started on the other side of the coach house before the leaks there develop.  We did spring one leak on that side when we were cruising this summer but stopped it by taping over the area with the small bit of rot.  So that is only a temporary cure that he eventually has to get after.  But after doing the port side he is now an expert.
