We pushed on through the Kanmon Kaikyo without stopping and went into Shinmoji for the night. Will post pictures later. We just missed max current going through the critical bit, but being off to the side had no problems with maintaining control. The straits controller did call us up and ask our intentions. He also warned us we would be hitting maximum flow of 8 knots. We were doing five through the water and did see 12.3 over the ground but only for a very short spot. So all was ok. Shinmoji isn't worth stopping unless you are dog tired like us.
We were sad to leave Fukuoka. The place will always be special. We will add more on our last two days there later as well. Now it is time for sleep.
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.
