a population of just seven people live cheek by jowl with two hundred special report the next. rushes for east the north he york is sailing to the most remote part of the sea of a hoax. if he knows the boeing three of them were intrigued by the remote place a little bit with. the nike yacht leaves behind busy sea lanes to set sail for the most uninhabited stretch of force. for yachtsmen this part of the journey is very dangerous there for him. that much as captain is accompanied by six tourists. that they missed respect shanteau harlem's and phone the all chicago's biggest quality of seals is that it's lonely out here where the only one failing.

to travel is on board hope to get to the hour looms for the of the news of the following day but a few hours later the weather turns for the worse. great clouds in a cold case seeing wind portend a storm move than two hundred kilometers of lift to reach the shanteau islands there's no way to floyd from the weather if the vessel is cool talking 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. road of course this is a dangerous area her men are great risk here for her anyone trying to get through this two hundred kilometer stretch will have to cover it in one go of the need for new floors 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 shipped

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 halt is fraught with danger ships crush it every year in two thousand and four a yacht called a song disappeared near the shores of the show and our limbs with three crewmembers on board. it's always unpredictable here if you're not prepared things could turn to the worst if you. will for. the next eleven is fifty five years old and he is a professional sailing teacher the first visit to the shanta orleans when he was very young building a yacht was his hobby that he uses it to take terrorists to the shanty harlem's. deal makes a stop a road to cut off our limbs named in honor of the famed soviets 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 knows they did it it's great that you arrived safe now if you're most. welcome to show love and if you love a copy of the next a fuel captain is an incredibly brave man doing killing a nickel. the head of the facility first came to this island with his parents when he was a young boy after completing his military service he returned here and spent many years working as a fisherman now he is in charge of a team catching watch whales so i'm in for scientific purposes of the census dolphinariums in russia and the brooch. it's about they spend most of the time underwater where they can hold their breath for twenty minutes they just go underwater and stay there until you lose track of them before the number of males

and females we catch depends on the customer we don't take big ones because they capacity for adapting to new environments is not. present there are some twenty white whales in the facility they take about a month to be tamed during that toys they are expected to get accustomed to their trainers and allow people to feed them each instructor trains a small group he feeds the mammals and observe their 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 beatification 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 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. but. if you hold it by the gills quiet for a moment it should come up to you it is a mile it will instantly pop up something's coming yeah that's him down there. and we thinking wow look at that. don't they look great you know much and they still hungry i'm speechless they were wonderful. when become stronger the travelers decided to hurry on and reach the shores of the shelter or limbs before the storm hits we're back on the long beach area the feel

the wrath of my home base is how this sea of occult screeds everyone. always you know we will keep on sailing. with the with the strong winds with the waves up to three metres high the yacht could capsize of any moment the sea of a holds is the cool to see in the far east if someone falls overboard they could well toy if exposure. with one hundred kilometers to cross until the shuttle harlan's there's not a single day point from the storm as luck would have it the noise he has not yet moved far away from their previous stop on the itinerary caught off guard and the seafarers spend several days in the train a fishing village on a small spit of land.

is your proof so suddenly we have been waiting for the storm just subside for almost three days and still the thirty meters a second wind almost knocks you off your feet local fishermen have given a shelter in this an elderly office buying into nearby vessels or about the situation is better than being on the high seas right now if you want. 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 before you seize several days to calm down complete faith. that this is the second day we have been sitting around waiting for the. sunda shot three to four bombings broken down today was a first catchable had fish food is running out. yet this is exactly the magic genii were after when we set out please.

five days later on the weather improves the seafarers decide to resume their journey. says uncle scott said. this to more than two hundred kilometers to the shanty audience the captain is chilled to 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 a mariner's compass. to go if it isn't so bad now you're going to the waves are just one metre high of the time to head for the shantanu islands. we have resolved to move on because of stable atmospheric pressure in the last twenty four

a gigantic mass of water back to the sea of a halt the currents in the straits between the islands a stronger than anywhere in the world the slow moving yours runs the risk of being 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. this is what she teaches there are massive currents here who are storms give rise to bake chaotic always making it difficult for small vessels to seal for the sailing here is a dangerous side from that there are rocks in the middle of a strait if you ignore them you're in for a good deal of trouble for you before the fall. centuries ago the shanta boylan's were part of the mainland but later the advancing sea separated them from it the article ago all complacent area some two and

washed ashore and the shoreline is too narrow to set up the tents that. follow with us of all these frequent storms drive driftwood from the shore the driftwood ends up here told us we heard that if there's been a long journey this place is not suitable for a stopover. it's a block to all sorts of things or go fishing. the captain decides to journey on woods even though the sun is setting he wants to get to a separate bay by the bolshoi river for an overnight stay the the waves wind can reach it. toit changes twice a day around the shuttle. the difference in water level can be as much as eight

meters during the night the water receded and the yacht ended up stuck on a sandbank the captain seized the opportunity to check his yacht for any damage done with a political well while the captain most asleep on the job the tide turned to yodel around and left us here if it is now that it's so much ground we can't possibly get to budge we will have to wait twenty five hours before the next high tide and then we'll continue our journey. from. here to. the islands are inhabited by a great many animals but the bad as opposed to the biggest threat to humans that's why weeks preditions coming here to make a point of camping out in the open territory that can be easily monitored. twenty five twenty five roger or three six hundred eighty. three with the

no the bat has retreated to the forest the captain can land the year old to allow the travelers to go ashore and cook you know. just to my mom who catch some fish leave it for just one pound a day like a right old boiled could be spy for him playing a sweet fish. a small river flows into the sea of a halts a storm is turned into a lake by blocking it with a mass of riverside pebbles a large school of salmon approaches the shore as the fish tries to head off spawning but it is impossible to catch any during the spawning season salmon stopped eating and ignore the bait travelers are only happy to finally land some fresh water fish. worth of red on best seem to be only too willing to get cause i can't help but it on the line. their family she had and when i do this here.

drop like say a man say when go ahead of. them all in this home to numerous recurrence here see goals cormorants and make the nests. but the most interesting attraction of the island is the vast colony of seals the travelers a lucky to take a picture of them. when the animal 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. and you know if it's down this coast when we were still on board we noticed some biting seals we're going see try to get closer and touch them. several species of seem a million habit shantelle islands the ring seal is one of the most common they feed

on mullahs and ground fish for a long time seals were the target of hunters but now the practice is bad. the seals do you notice the people most of the russians in the water but they don't head out too far hundreds being quizzed have always popped up all over the place the enemies are puzzled rather than scared humans are a very rare sight here. seals can be very aggressive they can even fight that's why the tourists treat these creatures with cat. just look at this little tail and flee. cultural seals move slowly but they are excellent swimmers they can dive down to within the five hundred meters in search of food.

the nikkei has covered almost seven hundred kilometers it still has to cover one third of that distance again to come full circle but then the return journey the way seems easy.
