About Me

My photo
Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
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.

Astoria to Gig Harbor, and beyond

We left Astoria on St Paddy’s day to drive up to Gig Harbor, Washington.  We picked a great Waterfront Inn and after, we got a note from our friends that it was a jewel of a place.  After we got checked in, our friends, George and Marcia came and picked us up and took us sightseeing.  We hadn’t see George and Marcia since they were in Thailand getting ready for their trip across the Indian Ocean nearly 20 years ago.  How time flies?  We had a great time with them and really liked Gig harbor as well.  Definitely a place we will have to stop at on our way south!


After our stay in Gig Harbor, we booked the car in for one last check up.  This was near the SeaTac Airport.  We had an issue with the rear brakes, which were going to need service in a while so we quickly had that done by the experts before bringing the car back to Sitka.

After the car was fixed, we scooted over to see the Fish Hawk.  This was so Mark could drop off some things and meet up with the crew, who were working on board that day.  We got to say hi to everyone but they were going to be busy all day and on the weekend, so rather than book a room locally we decided to head all the way to Bellingham to await our ferry departure.
