Wow what a day. We left Omishima at 0700 this morning smack into dense fog. Often times we had only about 25 metres of visibility. We were sounding the foghorn fairly regularly but still had a couple of too close for comfort calls. Luckily the fog seemed to lift around the three bridges we had to cross under. But one of them we were straining pretty hard to see until just before it, Mark noticed the vehicles going over the bridge and then we were able to find the center point. After the third bridge and right into Hiroshima it cleared to over a mile of visibility (what a relief). Anyway safely tucked into a slip. We will be here at least until Saturday. We have to take the coolant tank off the engine and repair or replace it. It is plastic and has develepoed a leak where the refrigeration fan belts chafe against when they are loose, which is most of the time. We carry a spare but Mark has an idea to fix the old one and glass on a stainless chafe guard where the belt tends to hit. We will let you know if it works.
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.
