Well we are now cleared out and heading out in a couple of hours. The swell is still up right now but the wind has shifted and should knock the swell back within the next couple of hours. The window looks pretty good for the next seven days. Light winds for some of it so we will have to be careful not to run the engine too much. As we will still need diesel to get from Attu to Adak and there it is only iffy if we can diesel up. Will have to be done via jury cans so don't want to have to need too much.
We have loved almost every minute in Japan, other than the floating debris jamming up our prop. The people, the scenery, the customs and of course the food. It has been a very memorable year. Too many very gracious people to mention. Always helping and gifts that we can never come close to repaying. Japanese people, you can be very proud of your hospitality.
And no, as the title says, is a year long enough? Probably not, we feel we have only scratched the surface here but it is time to move on.
Sayonara Japan and arigatou gozamashita.
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.
