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.

Farewell Message to Tannowa Yacht Club


The following is the farewell message we wrote in the Tannowa Yacht Club's Visitors Book.

It is Sakura (Cherry Blossom) time in Tannowa and we have very mixed feelings about leaving.  First, we are anxious to get on our way toward the next exciting part of our journey to Alaska but we are sad to leave so many friends behind.  The members here have been incredibly friendly and thus the software side of the club is fantastic.  We have always been included in the parties and functions put on by the club and individuals and have always had everything patiently explained to our often novice Gaijin selves.  The hardware side of the club, with its breakwater, docks and electricity, have made staying here through the winter stormy periods very comfortable.  Thanks especially to Takeda-san and his very helpful staff at the harbor master office, who made things easy to get here.  Thanks to Kakihara-san for his often warm greetings and teaching us the harmony of Japanese food and sake.  Thanks to Yoichi-san and Kanehara-san for their very informative instructions and of course for their hard work fixing our leaks.  Thanks to Yoshida-san and Morishita-san for their generosity and especially for the firewood to keep us warm.  Thanks to Kishida-san for the medications for our journey.  And finally, thank you Kondo-san, for making it all happen and introducing us and inviting us to Tannowa.  We are eternally grateful.  Arigatou gozamashita.  We hope to see you again.
