The old thread is closed so I thought I would restart it.

I picked up at Vinnies. ‘Sailing Through Russia. From the Artic to the Black Sea’, an Australian Skipper, John Valentine.

His 4 month voyage in 2013 around the top of Norway to Archangel (White Sea) to the Mediterranean, via the Volga River.

Part cruising guide and part blog, it’s entertaining and a great read. It would have been a fantastic trip. Unfortunately the chances of repeating his journey are pretty remote with the current world politics.

Anyone know if Tainui (Peterson 46) , homeport Sydney, completed its slow circumnavigation?
