I am departing for the new, long voyage! The most unusual point on the route will be Tiksi – little, forgotten port on the Arctic Ocean located far north of the polar circle, at the mouth of Lena River. I want to reach Tiksi sailing down the Lena – The Queen of Siberia. To enter this area you need special permit issued by Russian authorities. You have to wait 40 days for this paper. Only few days ago I did not know if I’ll get it at all… Now I know that supposedly paper is waiting in Yakutsk. Maybe they expect any extra support? (Official fee for the permit is 50 USD). In Yakutsk I’ll also meet four other toptrotters from USA, Spain and France, who accepted my idea of little known Yakutia as a place of our “G5 summit” :))
After return from the Far North back to Yakutsk I would like to take the infamous Road of Bones from Yakutsk to Magadan on the Pacific coast. I will be more then 2000 kms of 4WD on destroyed road crossing the area of virgin nature. My Friend Jorge is already in Yakutsk looking for suitable truck (no public transport on the old Road of Bones). Good luck Jorge!
I do not know yet, where I’ll go later. It is my first voyage without clearly defined return. There are few different options I take into consideration. One of them will be chosen in Vladivostok in accordance with my financial and physical abilities after Siberia and Kamchatka. One-way ticket only…
