Kazan (RU) – Chelyabinsk (USCC - RU)
436nm; 4h10; Cowan (962) / Hughes (833)

Left-over chicken (now cooked in a batter and billed as ‘chicken-burgers') was not so welcome for breakfast, but it ‘filled a hole’.
Crossing the Urals, the team left Europe and began their traverse of Asia. The airport hotel proved to be well-equipped with working showers AND loo paper (very unusual, hence there was a sizable stash in the Islander)!
The evening meal saw the town’s complete stock of beer depleted by the team – all six cans!!

The Islander on the Chelyabinsk dispersal. Note the list of sponsors on its flank.


Yuri gets interviewed at Chelyabinsk by the local press.


Day 12: UKWD-USCC 436 nm, 4.17 hrs, GS 105 kts. Cumulative 2648 nm, 27.84 hrs, Average GS 95 kts.
