The Fish Hawk crew made it to the inside passage. They left in bad weather knowing they had a very short weather window to cross the Gulf. About an hour outside of Cape Spenser the winds increased and slowed their speed but they made it in. Still lumpy inside and anyone who knows the route will still advise there are several spots they still have to stick their nose out into the big water, but all for short periods of time so hopefully they can time it right.
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.

Plans
Well, we are doing it! Mark made it to Seward, Pauline tendered her resignation and is putting the car on a barge at the end of the week to Seattle. Hopefully Mark will finish up in Seward and find a weather window to get to Seattle before the car on December 5. Pauline will fly to Seattle when Mark arrives and they will take a couple of months driving in the lower 48. First stop Florida for a quick renewal course for Mark and for both of them to thaw out and see family and friends. It is then on to visit as many places and friends as possible before the return trip. So if you are going to be somewhere in the lower 48 and want to meet up, contact us to see if we can make it happen!

Fish Hawk is in Monashka Bay
The Fish Hawk made it in and out of Naknek and King Cove. They were racing to get through the Shelikof Strait before the weather got too bad. They didn’t make it so turned their tail to the wind and went under Kodiak. They are turning circles in Monashka Bay until a break in weather before making the jump over to Seward.

Update
Well, the Fish Hawk made it in and out of Nome. Some bad weather but they made it and raced toward Dillingham. They didn’t make it there and had to turn around 4 miles short of the dock as the ice was too thick. They diverted to Naknek, where they hope to land early Wednesday.
