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.

Repair Progress

We got some parts shipped to us from the States and the Ham Radio interfaced into the Pactor now seems to be working infinitely more reliably so we should have contacts and weather when we leave.  As we are in the middle of a typhoon area where they grow from nothing we really want to know what is happening around us so we can take evasive action.

The generator is still in bits and pieces.  But we are hoping to get that fixed with in the next few days.  Then a few more days of diving and we should be on our way again.
