The Last Day

Tim sits back as the sun slowly rises outside and the crew nears the Arctic coast Note the portholes are now sealed with plastic cut from stationery folders.

As we near the last of the islands the Yenisey gulf begins to open up The end of the journey is near.

Remy hauls in an oars The water is too shallow to dock closer to shore With a frozen bottle of champagne we celebrated minutes later on the last spit of land leading to the gulf.

Remy dons a fur hat as the sun slowly rises and we row the last 20km to the end.

Nikolai hold the Aussie flag into the wind We arranged for Nikolai and his family to meet us in the gulf to help us get a lift back south.
