following day but a few hours later the weather turns for the worse. great clouds in a cold piercing wind portend a storm moved in two hundred kilometers a left to reach the shanta arlen's there's no way to floyd from the weather if the vessel is cool top in a bad storm anything could happen it could capsize the waves might toss it on to a sandbank if it's close to the shore. by friday of course this is a dangerous area for men are the great risk here horrible for anyone trying to get through this two hundred kilometer stretch will have to cover it in one go the newborn your floor of course if you haven't gone too far away from the shore you can turn around and go back. in any case it depends on where the bad weather gets you it's up to the captain to make a decision. the yacht has a month's supply of fresh water and fuel on board however every. trip across the

sea of a cold is full of danger ships crush it every year in two thousand and four a yacht called disappeared near the shores of the shanty orleans with three crewmembers on board before it's always unpredictable here if you're not prepared things could turn to the worst it. is fifty five years old and he is a professional sailing teacher he first visited the shanta owens when he was very young building a yacht was his hobby now he uses it to take tourists to the shanteau limbs. makes a stopover of chicago of oil and named in honor of the famed soviet pilot on the island is russia's only center that specializes in capturing white whales the travelers decide to wait here until the storm has passed. everybody

at present there are some twenty white whales in the facility they take about a month to be tamed during that time they are expected to get accustomed to the trainers and allow people to hand feed them each instructor trains a small group he feeds the mammals and observes that behavior if a white whale refuses to eat for a long time it is released back into the sea. which to me is the most difficult process but once the animals undergo the adaptation in a new place training is easy each animal has a distinct character some are bold others are timid features one requires an individual approach but. since the white whales have not yet become accustomed to humans they are very apprehensive of them they don't show up on the surface but eventually one of them agrees to be fed

fish from a human hand. you hold it by the gills and be quiet for a moment it should come up to you to take you to it it is a mile that will instantly. something's coming yeah that's him down there. and look at that. don't they look great you know much and they still hungry i'm speechless they wonderful. even become stronger the travelers decide to hurry up and reach the shores of the shanty or looms before the storm hits the back of the long beach area do you feel that you know if this is how the c. of a cause greets everyone. always you know the way you. people in the sailing. with

a second wind almost knocks you off your feet local fishermen have given a shelter in. just buying into nearby vessels or about the situation is better than being on the high seas right now it's. the fierce storm is a remnant of a powerful typhoon that originated in china thousands of kilometers away even if the weather gets better it will take the hearty sees several days to calm down complete faith. this is the second day we've been sitting around waiting for the sun to shine before the bombings broken down today was a first catch of bullhead fish food is running out. if this is exactly the magic journey we were after when we set out.

five days later when the weather improves the seafarers decide to resume that journey. says uncle scabs. this still more than two hundred kilometers to the shanty harlem's the captain is charles of the coolest fall from the coast any closer would risk the old running aground the crew keeps on track with the help of the g.p.s. navigator and america's compass. just go with it isn't so bad now if i'm in the waves or just one meter high above the time to head for the shantanu islands. we have resolved to move on because of stable atmospheric pressure in the last twenty four hours we are fine full to the shore for the shelter it has given us now we are an open sea of course it will give them. a curious port of killer whales is attracted to the small boat this part of the sea

thrown back to shore because of the powerful currents underneath the counter flows create a swirling vortex as a result the boat looks as though it's sitting on boiling water. but there are massive currents here storms give rise to big chaotic always making it difficult for small vessels to seal through the sailing here is a dangerous side from that there are rocks in the middle of the strait if you ignore them you're in for a good deal of trouble. for the first call. centuries ago the shanta islands were part of the mainland but later the advancing sea separated them from it the archipelago occupies an area some two and a whole thousand square kilometers roughly the same size luxemburg anyone wishing to see the many natural wonders will take several months to see them.

turned around and left is here with a few days now that had so much ground we can't possibly get to. we'll have to wait twenty five hours before the next high tide and then we'll continue our journey and . the only ones are inhabited by a great many animals but the beds pose the biggest threat to humans that's why we expect asians coming here to make a point of camping out in the open territory that can be easily monitored. twenty five twenty five project or three six hundred eighty. the weather station is the only place on the shanta islands where people live all year round it's situated in the middle of bolshoi. the station's marriage of vladimir boyd

meetings with. the coming here in one thousand nine hundred he was the weather station chief several years when he quit the job he decided to stay here for good. since then he's been making a living by hunting and fishing he has been to nearly every remote part of the. close to the weather station of the remains of a steam engine it was brought here by the way lives in the early nineteenth century . and they were whalers from north america where this is where large amounts of fats were rendered nearly three to one grinder was used to mincemeat wood there were lots of whales but there was no electricity only machines the powers of prevention the meat grinders world driven by bel air two belts were used . if not in.

anatoly dover duke is sixty two years old when he sets out for the forest he always takes his trusty rifle with him to ward off any bad as. if you carry a rifle with you you won't come across anybody for months with them but the moment you don't a bear is bound to appear that's why you need this is all or no with cuba aboard. the bears on shantel island or a big threat they tend to come off the anatoly food supplies rather than the hunter himself. and i mean a bear in my case it was a barge of about four and a lot i had made sure she couldn't get inside the store house so she sent her cub there on the cubs there i did what i could find in the store house when the two men outside had a big feast. as a fountain all of the shuttle islands there are

a total of two hundred living here the trails nearly always lead to the miles of small rivers with fish boom it is that an encounter with a bear is most likely shantel bez or inquisitive but not aggressive. yeah he's the boss and he's behaving like one. well i mean there was tapes and mounds if you will a working lunch like ground under which a rebirth he looks like a clumsy animal but he would catch up with you in no time. even if you get out of your wits is fast as he means well i mean if. they're not interested him anymore. the bad has retreated to the forest the captain and the year old to allow the travelers to go ashore and cook dinner. just to my mom who has some fish leave it for her and just how do they like it oh

boy let's go could be spider him playing chase with fish. a small river flows into the sea of a halt the storm has turned into a lake by blocking it with a mass of riverside pebbles a large school of salmon approaches the shore as the fish try to head off a spawning but it is impossible to catch any during the spawning season salmon stop eating and ignore the bait the travelers are only happy to finally land some freshwater fish. words to get a read on best seem to be only too willing to get caught i can't help it on the lawn. there are families she she had them when i do. there are dozens of fresh water and salt water fish to be found in the shanty. among the hunchback simon flatfish and trout.

in the morning do you know i keep its roots made destination to cheap oil and. put it in put it. we are approaching new teaching i learned it's in a northeastern straight line and we can't see anything because of the fog so we have to rely on navigational aids if we are lucky enough we might see a colony of seals you know. with the help of the g.p.s. the york makes its way through thick fog and drops bank up by the are you looking to. program on the waiting for the signal. to. go off like say i'm going to say when go ahead. sir.

all in this home to numerous rookeries here seagulls cormorants and other birds make the nests. but the most interesting attraction of the island is the vast colony of seals the travellers a lucky to take a picture of them. when the animals sunbathing on the beach they are reluctant to go on the water during low tide this is the best trying to get close to them. but i think this is done on this call when we were still on board we noticed somebody think seals we were going to try to get close and touch them. several species of sea mammal inhabit shantelle islands the ring seal is one of the most common they feed on mollusks and ground fish for a long time seals were the target of hunters but now the practice is by and.

the seals do notice the people most of the rushing to the water but they don't head out too far hundreds of inquisitive always pop up all over the place the animals are puzzled rather than scared humans are a very rare sight here. ah. seals can be very aggressive they can even bite that's why the tourists treat these creatures with care. just look at this little tail and flee. on short the seals move slowly but they are excellent swimmers they can dive down to a depth of five hundred metres and so to food. the nikkei has covered almost seven hundred kilometers it's still just

a couple one third of that distance again to come full circle but then the return journey always seems easy. hold. the. line in motion soon which brightened if you move the bounce from files to impressions. means for instance our teeth don't come.
