Wow it was 39 years ago on the 22nd of April in 1987 that Mark took over custodianship of Sari Timur. They have been through a lot of ups and downs during their times together, gone through many major changes , and weathered many storms. They are still together and hopefully still will be for many years to come.
About Me
- SY Sari Timur
- Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico
- 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.

Mark is back in North America
Actually he has been back a whole week. Pauline has to stay in Singapore probably until the end of May. She does feel like progress on this knee is way quicker than the last one and her doctor and physiotherapist both agree.
Mark is doing small projects on the boat. He had anticipated doing a larger project but for some reason he is having his worst battle ever with jet lag. He is also hoping to pick up some work. But the industry is rather slow right now.

Pauline’s Surgery Went Well
Well now Pauline is a bionic woman. Her surgery went well. She should be out of the hospital either Saturday or Monday. Mark will stay in Singapore a little longer until she gets at least a little mobile. Probably until St Paddy’s day. They sell real Irish beer in Singapore! The renovations and purging of things in the apartment is going well while she is in the hospital.

In Singapore
Pauline’s father passed away on January 28th. That was just a couple of weeks after his 99th birthday. We had to do some scrambling to get a flight but we made it for the last day of the wake and the funeral ceremonies. It’s tough to lose him but he has been suffering pretty badly for two years so though it is tough on us we believe he is now better off. Pauline will stay here for the other knee replacement and recovery and hopefully get the flat ready for rental. Mark will stay until the first of March, or so, also trying to get the flat ready. Unfortunately Chinese New Year is about to start which means everything comes to a standstill for a few weeks. We are doing our best but will have to deal with what we can.
