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 Sold Our Car

In an effort to cut our spending down, we decided to sell our car.  We had planned to keep it until next year when we are in dry dock somewhere in Mexico but as we looked deeper into the logistics of keeping it until then, it kind of made sense to get rid of it.  One of the local Nissan dealers whom we used to service her after we did our big super tour of the Continental States needed used cars and contacted us.  So down we drove.  They made an offer and we accepted.  George and Marsha whom we were going to visit with if we declined the offer, quickly offered to come and pick us up and return us to Port Townsend.  Wow what an offer!  Anyway it gave us a chance to visit with them again.

We miss the car as if it had human feelings, she had been with us offering us the chance to do some pretty fantastic road trips since we first bought her in Ft Lauderdale  back in 2015.  Pauline had nicknamed her Miss Red.  We hope you get another owner who appreciates you as much as we did, Miss Red!!!
