We ran into a few more hitches. Kind of expected after four years of idleness! The generator was running too hot. Proved to be a gunked up heat exchanger. Had a leaky water pump and a leaky spare, got both of those fixed and one installed. Leaky fuel transfer pump. Replaced it. We made the Anchorage provision run. Changed all the hose clamps on the main engine. Greased all the steering gear. Only things left are to get a diver to grease the MaxProp and change zincs. I have dove to change the zincs myself but with only a tropical wetsuit I get hypothermia by the time I finish the zincs. I am sure I would struggle with both jobs so we will get a diver with a dry suit! Finish stowing things and we are out of here. That probably means Wednesday night which means we will probably leave at about 6 am Thursday as the afternoon winds would make getting out of our cubby hole pretty touchy.
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.
