We arrived right at slack tide. The wind was manageable and we had old rally friends to help catch our lines. We were also lucky as the outer pontoon was open so no dramas today. We also had all four sails up and the engine off for the first time this season. Only for an hour and that was just before the winds started, but it was nice to see the old girl in all her glory. She is looking a bit neglected as she needs new varnish which is too costly here in Japan. After we tied up, a bunch of locals shouted down at us, wondering where we were from. They said we had a very beautiful ship. Of course we know that!
We were then whisked off to an onsen and then followed by a fantastic Italian dinner courtesy of our friends here in Onomichi. We have decided to delay our departure from here until Sunday morning. Right now it is deceiving as it is glassy calm outside but sometime tonight the winds are supposed to start and make it rather nasty for moving for a day or so.
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.
