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.

Update on Pauline

On Sunday morning Pauline woke up to severe pains in her stomach.  She asked Mark to take her to the hospital.  After some testing it was found she had a super enlarged gallbladder and it was full of stones.  They admitted her right away and scheduled a surgery to remove it Monday morning.  The surgery went well and she is now recovering.

Mark is in Sitka

The crew of the Fish Hawk got a chance to take a short break.  Mark was trying to slip home and surprise Pauline but she can view his text messages and figured out that he was on his way home when he was checking in at the airport.
