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.

Our First Week Back

We have been back for a week.  The new batteries are in and wired so the new Victron Battery Monitor can work.  It is installed and working.  We don’t need this while we are in a marina but will be great when we are cruising again.

We have a coat of paint on the repairs that Mark did last year.  It looks good but needs at least two more coats.

We filled up with diesel.  This is a bigger job than it should be, as it has to be done with Jerry Cans since the igloo is still on.  The igloo will come off this year but not until the next two coats of paint are on.

Sari Timur didn’t complain much at all about us leaving her so long this year.  Of course John and Ivy watched her closely and we kept the heat and dehumidifier going.  All that seemed to be wrong is the one light we left on kind of died but it was a cheaply, made in China one, so no harm here.  And a few canned and bottled drinks that were stored on deck needed to be discarded.  However, she is happy that we are back and showing her some attention.
