Ahoy!!!

On Caitlin's final weekend we got the chance to go sailing in a handmade sailboat on Lake Turg. Our new friends Ольга and Артур who run a private school program invited us onto their friends boat to sail to a mysterious island.

Our captain, Эдвард (Edward) and his boat "supreme".

Vera Island, our destination.

An Orthodox Cross on the highest point on the island.

The couple, inside some ancient caves. There are places like this all over the island and also remnants of actual dwellings as well.

On the ride home we had a beautiful susnset, but no wind and no engine. So, what else to do but sing Russian folk songs a cappella!
