We've now been waiting 2 hours for port officals to get clearance from the Russian navy to leave port. Submarine exercises are far more important.
Today is a boat excursion, deep sea fishing, seal sighting, crab catching and most importantly eating and probably vodkaing.
We have met Illya who has struck up a deep conversation with Matt on history and politics. The views of the historian and citizen have been amicably debated with Matt being invited to Illya's home near Rostov-on-Don in the west of Russia.
Well I have caught a fish in Russian waters but not the one on display. It came via her friends boat but ot still tasted superb.Read more
Traveler Thanks for following Julie, its nice to know someone is sharing it. This is an an amazing trip Matt has conceived. You would live it. We will come back. I know the guides, the local best, and some yet to explore. And the people are so interesting and interested in us and our prrceptions of this confusing world. Looking forward to September 1. Go Croatia!

Kurz vor 14 Uhr werde ich am Treffpunkt abgeholt und zum Schiff begleitet. Ich hatte mir ein grösseres Schiff erhofft, um weniger dem Wellengang ausgesetzt zu sein. Ich steige also an Bord und verstaue meinen kleinen Rucksack. Zu meiner Überraschung spricht hier niemand Englisch. Das wird interessant...

Leinen los und Nase hart in den Fahrtwind, so tuckern wir zuerst gemütlich, dann mit reichlich Tempo in die Awatscha-Bucht in Richtung der Öffnung zum Ozean.

Die Awatscha-Bucht ist 24 km lang und an der Mündung 3 km breit; die maximale Tiefe beträgt 26 m. Sie ist damit eine der grössten Buchten überhaupt. Die Bucht wurde 1729 von Vitus Bering auf seiner ersten Expedition entdeckt. [Wikipedia]Read more
