Position N 61 d 07.42 Slip T16 in Valdez's new small boat harbor
W 146 d 20.16
We stayed a couple of days watching the bears and water falling in Cascade Bay and we headed out towards Columbia glacier. But after motorsailing for over 6 hours, yes we got some sails up, we reached the opening to Columbia Bay. However, the bergs were out and big, and with ten miles to get up the fiord we decided the ice was going to do us in so we snucked in under Heather Island to Emerald Cove. Emerald was nice and the weather was not so we stayed there watching the icebergs float back and forth outside the bay. Finally this morning we left and we battled the fishing boats and fog but no rain until we finally got into Valdez. Already had our first burger and beers and though the internet is slow we promise to put photos on to the previous blogs over the next few days so keep watching the older blogs.
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.
