Apologies for not posting more on Naoshima. Will add some pictures later. We have limited internet here and we pulled a very quick departure out of Naoshima. We saw a very brief weather window and we moved the boats out in a hurry between squalls to get a little closer to Onomichi where we are trying to meet up with friends.
We did a post on Shiraishijima during the rally as it was a stop there. Actually all of our stops now to Hiroshima are return stops. This one was to sit out the gale that was coming through yesterday. Basically we just stayed below, nursed the fire, and rested while the wind and rain blew. The crew from the other boat did a walking tour and found the main town and said it was quite pleasant but we were not that excited to brave the cold and wet.
We hope to make Onomichi this afternoon. It is a short distance but the currents for entering and departing there are very critical so it has to be done on slack tide. And of course the wind is not supposed to die down until about 2-3 hours after slack tide. This should be interesting!
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.
