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.

Happy Halloween

Mark finished his RFPNW assessment which was a bunch of exercises on the simulator.  He now has the official paperwork to stand as part of a navigational watch.  He goes for his physical tomorrow.  Then one more class and he gets to file a bunch of paperwork with the Coast Guard.  That will lay all the ground work to keep earning sea time on the Chahunta towards his 500 ton license.

While Mark was testing Pauline stayed home and made a bunch of pies for the Halloween Carnival.  We think all of Seward was there.  Nice to see everyone all dressed up and having a good time.
