Any readers out there know anything about obtaining a cruising permit for Kamchatka? We have tried the internet and had a possible hit from a possible sponsor (a tour group there) but then they evaporated. We know it is possible but we are struggling to find out what hoops to jump through. There is no Russian consulate here on Guam so that makes matters worse. Plus I imagine the one in Japan is in Tokyo and we will be a ways away from there for the first several months of our trip in Japan. Of course it doesn't help matters that we are not sure if we will need the permit in 2014 or later. But if any readers have some information please email me (Mark) at murbius@gmail.com or sy.saritimur@gmail.com .
Cheers
and Merry Christmas
About Me
- SY Sari Timur
- Alaska, United States
- I am owned by Pauline and Mark Blasky. My hull was built at the Duncan Marine Yard in Taiwan and launched in Dec of 1980. It is a William Garden design based on the Pixie Design and called by Duncan Marine a Freedom 45. They are the fourth owners and have owned me the longest. They have done extensive refitting to me including replacing my entire deck structure and rig. My masts are roughly 10% taller than original and now are made of aluminium as opposed to the original wood ones, which, though pretty, were always problematic.

Have you guys decided when you are going to Kamchatka? We have some friends that are moving to Sakhalin Oblast for 4 years and maybe we could come visit you and them in the same trip.
