Well we got all the sails off and the gear on deck tied down. The low has hit, it has only reached 44 knots up until now, but our new spot is much more protected. It is supposed to get worse before we leave tomorrow.
We tried to get a leak fixed before we depart tomorrow. This meant a few days of digging and grinding out a bunch of dry rot underneath the deck and around the starboard aft laz. We rebuilt it with synthetic materials although Mark didn't finish glassing as much as he wanted. But he thought he got it. Of course with all this rain we see we didn't get it all. We did manage to turn that crappy brown water that usually indicates rot ito nice clean water and the leak is very tiny now so hopefully when we get back we can trace it and stop it with some gunk until spring. Of course the leak being tiny Means it will be hard to trace. But it should be fun.
We do not have much to do, a bit of laundry and some final packing and we will head to Anchorage.
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.
