I recommend for defence from mosquitos to use protect gauze.
Also it is absolutely necessary to follow instructions
of
Patricia Ormsby (Japan) to protect you from bites of tic; see
her article on encephalitis.

5. I am looking for cheap travel trips in Lake Baikal in order
to increase number of clients; you could order the trip of
any length (days)!
Danger!
You always keep close to the shore when you paddle (you move
from the shore at a distance of 10 meters); if there would
be sudden wind - you must have enough time to drag the
catamaran
on the shore!
