UPDATE 6 PM on Singapore's National Day. The storm centre of Halong has passed well clear of us and we are doing fine. The winds will howl for a few more hours but nothing severe. We are just hiding out watching the Chronicles of Narnia and occasionally checking our mooring lines.

We continue to prep for Typhoon Halong. It looks like the eye will stay on the south side of Kyushu but it will still provide some strong winds for us Saturday night and early Sunday morning.
We have the starter replaced and are very pleased with Taiyo Electric the local agent for Northern Lights. They figured out a way to get the starter from the factory to the marina in three days. Last night we watched a local fireworks display. I guess there is enough distractions when prepping for a Typhoon!
About Me
- SY Sari Timur
- 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.
