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.

La Bufadora

We are still in Ensenada.  A rather long story is behind our decision to stay but the short side of it is that Pauline’s dad went into the hospital and we didn’t feel we could be away for the three weeks to a month it would take before we could get back to civilization and have access to an airport.  One of the biggest dramas of cruising remote locations with aging parents but we decided there were a couple of projects we could knock out while we were here.  The biggest one being a new Bimini cover.

Yesterday we had planned to try and make a major dent in our Bimini project.  All good plans can get sidetracked however.  In the morning our neighbor came over and asked if we wanted to go to Costco and Walmart.  Since it is quite a distance from the marina and he had a truck, we said yes.  Well, we did more than grocery shopping.  He took us sightseeing.  We drove across the bay to Estero Point and La Bufadora.  Estero Point is a large resort and community and La Bufadora is a large blowhole or maybe a blow wedge about 17 miles south of Ensenada.  As there were no cruise ships in it was a perfect time to go.
