Well we left beautiful and super protected Captain Harbor this morning to head for Geographic Harbor some 350 miles further up the track. But the weather was miserable. Even though there were three bears, a mother and her two cubs at the mouth of the harbor as we were departing and more whales than we have yet seen in a morning, many of them broaching, we were pretty tired of the weather so we picked a stop for the night. That is where we are now. We had some issues with the anchor winch so in the dark, cold and wet rain, Mark disconnected the deck connector and rewired it. Of course the connector was rather corroded so he had to take that below and rework it. We knew we had a spare but the spare was corroded even more. He got the old one fixed and then Pauline found the real spare as he was hooking it back up. Just to let everyone know we do have bad days even without the help of FedEx.
Hopefully tomorrow it will clear and we will get a bigger chunk of this particular leg finished.
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.
