Positional update 04.00: We’re headed toward Novaya Zemlya and the Kara Strait. 
Updated position 15.00: About 60 nautical miles southwest of Novaya Zemlya, making steady progress.

We are getting into a good routine, including Stas. There are lots of new things for him to figure out, but he is an eager and fast learner. Having done several Arctic expeditions in the past, he knows more or less how things work.
Our boat is headed towards Novaya Zemlya and Kara Strait, which offers [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Update 06.02: Here is our position early this morning – due north of Kildin Island (Ostrov Kil’din). This puts us approx. 130 km east of the Norwegian border. In order to put things in perspective, you may need to zoom out on the map.

		<description><![CDATA[Contrary to our hopes and expectations, we did not receive the insurance documents today – and hence cannot leave today. What we are said to require is so-called Search and Rescue Insurance, which covers the cost of such operations if something unforeseen should happen to us.

Our onboard inspections went well. Now we are only waiting for final approval from the central authorities in Moscow. Since it’s weekend, that won’t happen before tomorrow. If all goes well and we receive a “go” then – which at [...]]]></description>

…and on the other side is a huge barge, crewed by friendly Russians, which at least partly shields us from the bad weather.
