Patricia Ormsby's instructions to protect yourself from ticks, as they can
cause encephalitis. See her article on my website.

You could use maps: in English "ACROSS THE NORTH-WEST BAIKAL
AREA, in Russian "PRIBAIKALE", scale: 2 km = 1 sm.
Note - we have sea kayaks: two "Taymen-2", one "Taymen-3", one
"Vuoksa-3" with sail, one "Ilmen-3" and "Nerpa-2" (very good for
explore of lake Frolikha as it is very light to carry - 15 kg,
