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.

Miami to Deland

We left Miami, to head to North Florida to see the Florida Vladikas.  On the way there, we stopped in Fort Lauderdale to grab a quick lunch with Cousins John and Lauri Sobol.  Sorry guys, as you drove off we realized we missed getting a picture of you in the old car!

After the quick lunch, we headed up to Lake Helen and Deland.  We got to see everyone the first day and had a great Mexican dinner. The next day Aunt Kathy and her mother Marion had to run across the state for a Kopenkoskey reunion, so Michael, Erika, Victoria, Veronica and us headed to the beach.  The weather was still nice though a bit cool in the morning but after breakfast we hit the flea market and then the beach proper.  We then went back to the house, stopping on the way to buy some stuff for a stir fry dinner.  After dinner we went out to a new ice cream place by our hotel.  A cold front moved in and while we were eating ice cream the temperature dropped to the same as it was in Sitka at the time.  By morning it was 10 degrees colder than Sitka!
