Position N60 32.21 E032 46.26
Well this might as well be a sea. We had quite a
strong wind but unfortunately it headed us so we were motorsailing all but the
last bit. The crossing took 17.5 hours and the distance was 74nm and for
the first time we only had a small current against us.
 Leaving Oroshev
 The anchorage where we waited for our convoy to
meet up again. There was some anxiety as the small yacht had not been answering
calls for a position report but it turned up safe and well. It seems to be about
20ft and the lead boat tows it up the rivers as it could not make sufficient
speed to beat the current.
