Update 06.02: Here is
our position early this morning – due north of Kildin Island
(Ostrov Kil’din). This puts us approx. 130 km east of the Norwegian
border. In order to put things in perspective, you may need to zoom out
on the map.

Update 21.15: A short while ago we got
clearance, and are now sailing out the Murmansk Fjord. The tide is with
us. As soon as we reach the open sea, we’ll chart a course toward the
Northeast Passage.
Cheers!

PS. As we leave Murmansk behind, we would like to thank our friends,
and the great many people who showed us such warm Russian hospitality
in this port city. Below are a few photos. (Scroll down, and you will
see we have also added more than a dozen photos to other blog entries.)
