We moved a little over 35 miles today to Martin Harbor, a very well protected anchorage. Not to mention stunning. The boat next to us caught a bunch of halibut and some cod. For those who have not seen Alaskan Halibut you need to know without a freezer we can not catch any as there is no way we could eat that much fish before it rotted. The good news is they were in a sharing mood and we have a couple of large steaks for dinner tomorrow. It is wonderful fish to eat especially when it is so fresh.
On the way over we saw a couple of whales, Pauline even had to alter course a bit to make sure we didn't hit one. We think they were Minke whales but not sure. One of the other boats said they were either minke or another one that I can not spell. we are definitely buying a bird book and a whale book when we hit Dutch Harbor.
There is a low that is supposed to come through within the next couple of days. As the next port is pretty far we are going to be watching carefully before we head out. Both of us would like to get a couple of sleep days banked in before we have to head out on a 2-3 day passage.
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.
