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.

Racing to Beat another Winter Storm

With another winter storm warning forecasted, we decided to plow through Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana as fast as possible before seeking refuge in West Michigan with Mark's parents.  We did catch up with brother-in-law, Tom in Northern Indiana but he recommended we hit the road as soon as possible after lunch as 24 inches was in the forecast. We told him we were planning a big party at Angie's in Grand Haven when Laura and Steve, the Michigan Vladikas, along with Greg and Alyse and got him to commit to making the trip.

After leaving Tom we got a call from our friends, Jan and Steve who had Al and Beth staying with them.  We missed Al and Beth on this trip.  We were planning on seeing them in Ohio but they decided to avoid the wither storms by fleeing the coop early and headed to Mexico and Southern California before we could get there.  Anyway we did get to chat with them and promised Steve and Jan that we were still indeed planning on visiting them.

We made it to mom and dad's just as the snow started.
