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.

Puffin Bay

Position N 56 D 16.461

              W 134 D 46.153


We left Still Harbor just after 8 am.   We tried sailing as a Cutter rig for about an hour but the swell was heavier today and the wind just light enough to keep the sail slapping.  We were making 3 knots for a while but eventually it dropped to 1.8 so we fired up the iron Genny.

This anchorage is stunning.  It is in a little southern hook just at the very top of the bay.  We were advised that it was worth it.  The entrance is very narrow after the hook but then opens up into a fairly wide basin with a mud bottom.  Stunning scenery here and all the way up Puffin Bay.  Tomorrow our plans are to enter Sumner Strait and make it to an anchorage called Hole in The Wall.  It will be a fairly long run tomorrow.  We do have an alternate Anchorage but hope to make it all the way there.

There is some sludge in our diesel tanks but so far the pre filter is doing its job.
