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.

Further North to Virginia

During this trip we found out that one of Mark's college friends, Marcus Weaver, had passed away.  This is the second close friend lost within the last couple of years.  We lost Cliff Thrift to cancer about a year earlier.  It sparked a renewal in interest for the rest of us to get caught up. Terry, the ever efficient, got Don, Gary, Mark and Jim talking via texts.  Since we were heading fairly closely to Jim's cabin in the woods, he invited us over for a night.  He has a pretty nice cabin that he and his brother Tom built.  We had a great visit and got to meet his twin daughters and the dogs as well.  The daughters made a great meal for us.  Hey Jim let us not wait 40 years to catch up again!

From there we continued on to visit fellow cruisers Walt and Jane who are living near DC now.  We had a great couple of days with them and celebrated Jane's birthday with their two daughters Michelle and Lisette. 

Great catching up with you guys as well.
