with. the nike yacht leaves behind busy sea lanes to set sail for the most uninhabited stretch of water. for yachtsmen in this part of the journey is very dangerous there for me and also. the nike's captain is accompanied by six tourists . the aim is to reach the shan top islands and find the all chappelli goes the biggest colombe of seals isn't it lonely out here when the only one family and. the travelers on board hope to get to the orleans by the of the noon of the 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. i've heard of course this is a dangerous area for her men are greater risk a year or more for anyone trying to get through this two hundred kilometer stretch will have to cover it in one go the newborn or 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 york has a month's supply of fresh water and fuel on board however every. trip across the sea of a cult is full of danger ships crush it every year in two thousand and four a yacht called disappeared near the shores of the shanty towns 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 the first visit to 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 on to call 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 there is very difficult it's great that you arrived safe if you must search akala welcome to and if you love the thought that the next a captain is an incredibly brave man oh it's hilarious.

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 we had a taste in a new place training is easy each animal has a distinct character some are bold others are timid each one requires an individual approach but. since the white whales have not yet become accustomed few mins 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. hold it by the gills and be quiet for a moment it should come up to you to teach you that it is a mile that will instantly. something's coming yeah that's him down there.
