Lena still has to obtain confirmation that we can actually sail through to Kerch at the entrance to the Black Sea (which, given the current situation with the conflict in neighbouring Ukraine, would be nothing short of a miracle for me).<\/p>\n<p>There are two sailing clubs here, and somehow we ended up with Nicolay, an experienced and empathetic teacher and sailing coach. He, in turn, discovered an extremely talented sailor, \u201cshaped\u201d him and took him all the way to the Olympic Games: Alexey! While Nicolaj took care of the marina and our fuel supply (pictured here with his son, who is also named Nicolaj), Lena and I enjoyed the amenities and trendiest restaurant complex in Azov with Alexey.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4203,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-begegnungen-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
