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.

Shipley Bay

Position N 56d 04.652

              W 133d 32.167

We left Puffin early morning 0530 and started to make our way around the bottom of Baranof.  Once we did we got hit by 26 knots just abaft the beam so we hoisted sails and took off.  About 2/3rds of the way across Chatham the wind dropped off as suddenly as it started and we had to turn on the motor again.  We thought we were heading to Hole in the Wall but further investigation showed that it has a 26 foot height limit due to overhanging trees so our alternate was Shipley.  

This put us back in the inside passage.  When we slipped past Cape Decision Light, Sumner Strait was a mill pond so we will probably be stuck to motoring for a couple of days.  Tomorrow's destination is unclear at present but looking like a short hop to Port Protection where we might sit for an extra day as some weather passes.  But tune in tomorrow to see where we end up.
