Northern Sea Route: October 14th 2013
http://northernsearoute.blogspot.com/2013/10/october-14th-2013.html
Lauantai 19. lokakuuta 2013. Kodiak City, Kodiak. 57° 47,270' N, 152° 24,605' W. We spent only two nights in Sand Point as we were too impatient to stay there any longer. The first day at sea was reasonably comfortable, and we could even take down the foresail and repair the torn seams with sail tape. During the second day which was much more uncomfortable, we received the following message from our weather guru Evgeny:. If you're still in Sand Point it is better to stay. Be careful. ). On Monday morning...

Keskiviikko 9. lokakuuta 2013. 55° 19,978' N, 160° 29,937' W. The wind shield canvas was torn apart, and two of the seams of the foresail split. Luckily nothing too serious this time, but the game is not yet over! Tilaa: Lähetä kommentteja (Atom). Malli: Mieletön malli. Sisällön tarjoaa Blogger.

Lauantai 19. lokakuuta 2013. 59° 23,414' N, 149° 55,476' W. After a little more than 24 hours of sailing, we arrived in Seward where we had begun our polar circumnavigation in 2010. Again, we had friends waiting for us; Kathy and Vic, with whom we have shared some of the best times in south-west Alaska, and hopefully continue to do so next summer. The End of A Long Season. Into the Pacific and in between crossed nine seas, 16 time zones (no wonder we lost track of time more than once! The Sarema is now o...

Northern Sea Route: September 29th 2013
http://northernsearoute.blogspot.com/2013/10/september-29th-2013.html
Torstai 3. lokakuuta 2013. We had decided to depart on the 28. And, on our second day in Providenya, we called the Customs and asked them to come and check us out of Russia so that we could leave as early as possible the following morning. As always, all the boat's documents were in order as were our passports and visas but this time, Latte's papers presented a problem. We now had all the documents required by the bureaucrats.

Torstai 3. lokakuuta 2013. 64° 25,303' N, 173° 13,455' W. While they were meticulously studying our documents, we were holding our breath and keeping our fingers crossed. I don't know if this did it or whether it was the magic of all that splendour we had experienced two days before, but no one said a word of our already expired cruising licence!

Torstai 29. elokuuta 2013. What's On The Menu? 77° 32,401'N, 105° 37,480' E. About twelve hours later we woke up and had for breakfast bacon and eggs. With the glass of sparkling wine from the previous night (real sailors are. For lunch, we had Finnish pancakes (= räiskäle) which we. Can make because we have a proper räiskälepannu (I am sure you can figure. Out what the word means), with ice-cream, peach jam, and the rest of. Yesterday's sparkling wine. For dinner, I made sweet-and-sour chicken, and.

Tiistai 24. syyskuuta 2013. Across the Arctic Circle. 66° 33,000' N, 170° 34,307' W. Today, on the 24th of September at 06.45 UTC, s/y Sarema crossed the. Arctic Circle, and the Northern Sea Route aka the North East Passage is. Finally behind us. The passage was icier than we had hoped for, the winds. Were stronger than we had expected, and it took us far longer to traverse. The passage than we had anticipated. At times we were cold and tired, and. She'll be called Latte the Polar Dog! Direction also sta...

Keskiviikko 9. lokakuuta 2013. Dutch Harbor, Unalaska. 53° 54,355' N, 166° 30,657' W. One of the reasons why we felt so at home in. Was that, unlike in Russia, we could actually understand what people were saying. And what was most peculiar, almost every other person we met in town spoke Finnish! Which brings to mind your homework! The other thing that made us feel so very welcome to Alaska was the lovely harbour employee who, upon our arrival, showed us the most protected place along the dock and the fo...
