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.

We Arrived in the USA

Position Friday Harbor, Washington

We left Ladysmith Marina this morning bound for a port closer to Victoria.  The plan was then to head to Victoria tomorrow.  The weather would keep us there for about four days.  Normally we would welcome that.  This time however Pauline being hurt, couldn’t really enjoy seeing the sights.  We also got word that our car was ready and we had until the 20th to pick it up without additional charges.  So after a few miles of discussing it we opted to change course for Friday Harbor.  And 40 miles later we arrived and cleared customs here.  We are now anchored out and will cross the Straits of Juan de Fuca tomorrow to Port Townsend before our weather window closes.  This will also give us a few extra days to knock out some jobs on Sari Timur before she gets lifted and we are up to our ears in it.


By the way we don’t know who but thank you to the people who put a bottle of cider on our deck in Ladysmith.
