Position N 54 d 50.105

15:30 12 August
We have not quite arrived yet but hope to be
anchored tonight. The scenery is still stunning. The conversation at
change of watch this morning, Pauline says "quick come up and see
this". Mark comes on deck to see two spectacular snow covered volcanoes
one spewing a steam plume straight up. Pauline says "I need sleep
but I don't want to miss anything. Wake me up if there is anything
exciting." Mark's reply "what constitutes exciting, you have
already seen whales broaching, volcanoes, great views, orcas, Dhalls porpoises,
sea lions, otters, eagles?" Her reply "Bears!" So
hopefully tonight or tomorrow we will be anchored near bears. But the
conversation this morning does bring it home. Everyday we travel in this
part of the world, and when we are stopped somewhere we seem to be awed by our
surroundings. As simple as puffins bobbing by, to the views and wildlife.
We received a chain email from the boats in front of us. And they
are all saying the same thing, the further east they get the more there is to
see. Hard to believe but we do know that the cruise ships only go around
the eastern side and they know their business so we will just keep preparing
ourselves for more. Oh and the change of watch this morning we were still
rounding Unimak Island, the last of the Aleutians.
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.
