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.

Almost on the plane
Well work is finally over for the day and most of the things are done. The inside of the boat looks like a typhoon hit. As I was tearing things out to get at all the extra lines and things to secure the boat in case a typhoon decides to hit the outside of the boat. We have 12 lines down to 4 mooring blocks. Which those blocks are tied to others. I have put chaff guards on each line. Moved most of the loose stuff below. I left the sails on, except the big genoa, but I did lash them to their booms. All in the weather looks good for the next 7 days but then this is Guam and 5h1t happens! Will enjoy the break and it will be nice to see the flat now that it is finished off.

Singapore Beckons
There is a family wedding the weekend of May 25 and 26, which gives Pauline a really good excuse to take time off work and fly to Singapore to rejoin her family for a catch-up. She will be there from May 24 to June 7.
Mark was going to stay behind and take care of Sari Timur. However, he had forgotten to renew his Singapore Re-Entry Permit and therefore have to return to Singapore to renew it personally. It was decided that he will join Pauline on June 1 and return to Guam together on June 8.
It will be the first time since June 2010 that Mark is in Singapore. It would be fun catching up with our family and friends. However, we realize it will be a very short trip.
In order to prepare Sari Timur for staying in Guam alone during typhoon season (a little early but you'll never know), we have to put down the typhoon lines and will keep our fingers crossed that none will form while we are away.
We will update more when we return to Guam.

Pygmy Killer Whales
Interesting day out on the water today. The Spinner dolphins were back after a few days off. And there were some young ones with them. On the third trip we spotted a rather large pod of Pygmy Killer Whales that got up close and personal. No pictures though, sorry I was driving. Anyway one of the more interesting days out on the water, maybe on par with the time with the topless women. Of course I got no pictures that day either!
