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.

Difference a Couple of Weeks Make

Bethel and the Fish Hawk


 When we were up here a couple of weeks ago we were breaking ice and dodging bergs coming up the river.  A few days later when we left all the ice was gone.  There was speculation that the few larger bergs were artificially broken up but no evidence supporting that.  It is more likely just how fast things change up here.  In any event we heard last week the temperature was touching 80 degrees up here.  We were a little south and closer to Bristol Bay.  So our temps were moderate.  But two days ago we arrived and everything is super green.  And yes the temperature is high 70’s supposedly hitting 80 yesterday again.  In any event it is good for painting something sorely needed on here because of the poor summer last year.
