Position N 52 d 33.768
W 172 d 42.322
Well we are underway again. We lifted the anchor at 07:15 this morning and are making good progress. To where we are not sure. We have Hot Springs Cove on Umnak Island as our destination on the chart plotter. However that bay is exposed to winds from the north through to the west. Guess where the winds are coming from! They were supposed to back around already and be a bit more from the southwest by tonight but they are still just west of north. It doesn't matter all that much as this is also the course to steer to get to Dutch Harbor but it is about 30 hours further down the track. But to be fair it would be nice to get to Dutch sooner rather than later as well. There is also a low working its way from the west, set to be hitting us either Sunday or Monday so another reason to keep moving. In any event we are out here at least until late tomorrow night as that would be when we would be nearing Umnak so stay tuned and we will keep you posted. Oh Pauline saw some more whales again today this time with some large dorsal fins, but once again we are clueless as to what they were.
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.
