About Me

My photo
Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
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.

Heading South Again

Yes that is ice in mid July

 We made it to Lisburne and successfully discharged our cargo.  We did find some ice, but it was all small bits.  We were just under the pack.  We could see it with the binoculars.  Now on our way back to Nome where I can get off and head back to Pauline and Sari Timur.  But Mother Nature is sending a couple of waves of weather at us so we have to hide out a couple of places on the way.  It’s looking like we should be able to sneak back into Nome on Wednesday night.

Fun thing is last night the sun didn’t set.  It got close to the horizon but was visible as it worked its way across the northern sky.  Now that we are a hundred or so miles further south the sun dipped below the horizon.  It isn’t dark but the sun is not visible.
