The finish

The fourth stage of the circumnavigation has ended, marking the completion of our two-year round-the-world sailing expedition.

Over the course of 92 days during the final stage of the circumnavigation, the crew sailed 6450 miles and visited 9 countries.

Late last night, the crew dropped anchor at the marina in Marmaris.

Behind us lie approximately 30,000 nautical miles, 3 oceans, 4 continents, and 25 countries – these are not just numbers, but pages of our incredible adventure.

Fatigue blends with feelings of joy and regret that the journey has come to an end, yet within each of us lives an irresistible desire to raise the sails once again and embark on a new journey, seeking new horizons and unforgettable experiences.

We have crossed not only geographical boundaries but also the limits of our own capabilities.

Thanks to everyone who has been with us on this journey – the crew members, our wonderful fellow travelers, partners. It is because of you that this journey has become a bright and amazing story.

This expedition is not just a circumnavigation; it is our mission, our passion, our inspiration. Friends, may each of you find something for yourselves in this story: motivation, dreams, faith in yourselves and your abilities!

With love and gratitude,
Your 5 Oceans Club

Oleg Dudkin met with Mr. Harbi Said Moussa, the Chargé d'Affaires ad interim of Djibouti in the Russian Federation, to discuss cooperation on tourism development and yacht infrastructure in Djibouti. Additionally, on behalf of the Central Cossack Army, Oleg Dudkin requested Mr. Moussa's assistance in establishing a memorial sign at the site of the former Cossack settlement in Djibouti.

Our team of circumnavigators was warmly welcomed by guests at the Russian House in Egypt. This meeting became possible thanks to the assistance of Marat Gatiny, the head of the Russian House in Egypt, as well as the support of the AFROKOM organization.

Captain Dmitry Kuznetsov shared the most memorable adventures of the crew during the two voyages around the world under sail. Dmitry noted that the most dangerous moment occurred in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait during rocket attacks by Houthi rebels.

The "sea wolves" expressed their concern about the vast amount of plastic waste and pollution they encounter in the seas and oceans, which poses a significant threat to the environment. Vladimir Dudkin also spoke about the collaboration between the 5 Oceans Club and the Marine Research Center of Moscow State University, within which the crew conducts work on collecting samples of water, marine sediment, marine animals, and geological rocks.

In conclusion, Dmitry Kuznetsov expressed gratitude to the Egyptian public and media for their lively interest and hospitality since the team's arrival in Egypt.

On December 18th, the "Sport-Marathon Travelers Club" hosted a meeting with our guest from Sakhalin, a member of the 5 Oceans Club, Vyacheslav Kozlov.

It was gratifying to see the involvement of our guests in discussing issues related to the problem of increasing plastic waste and its serious consequences.

Here in the city, we rarely think about the garbage in the water and how it kills ecosystems in the World Ocean.

The screening of the film about the expedition to Seal Island was an eye-opener for many participants of the meeting. Ordinary packing tape, it turns out, can become a deadly noose for defenseless marine animals in their natural environment.

We would like to show this film to as many people as possible, to collectively change attitudes towards plastic consumption, reduce the harm we inflict on our wonderful planet and its inhabitants every day.

The link to the film is here.

If you have the desire and opportunity to organize similar educational meetings with film screenings, we would be very grateful to you.

Let's make our world a little better! And cleaner! Together!

The crew of the 5 Oceans Club boat left the marina of Phuket Island and headed towards the Andaman Islands.

Details of the route and coastal program can be found here.

And if you dream of joining our team at one of the points along the route, you still have the opportunity!

Thank you to everyone who attended the 5 Oceans Club party! It was our first club event for friends, partners, and all those who are passionate about yachting, seas, and oceans.

We are delighted to see your lively interest in the project, which inspires us to hold such gatherings regularly. Any communication with you is valuable to us, as it provides an opportunity to exchange experiences and ideas, create new joint projects, and grow and develop together!

During the event, we summarized the two-year activities of the Club, shared stories from our journey where we sailed two-thirds of the planet, awarded medals to the heroes of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Ocean crossings, shared the Club's plans for the next year, premiered the first episode of the film about the 5 Oceans Club's circumnavigation, and announced the start of sales for the 5 OCEANS MEDI CUP regatta.

We are pleased that our joint efforts have resulted in a film addressing the issues facing marine animals. Today, their lives are under threat. There are many reasons for this, but the main danger is human activity...

We hope that the film will inspire as many people as possible to treat nature with care.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the making of the film.

The PiR format provides a unique opportunity to broaden one's horizons, interact with professionals, exchange experiences, and establish valuable connections.

This year's festival theme was "The Art of PiR-Translation: How Will It Be in Russian?" The organizers' idea is that the art of PiR-Translation is one of the main arts of the world of diverging fault lines and moving tectonic plates, the world of new challenges and vectors of cooperation. How to translate from one language to another, from a foreign language into Russian, and from Russian into all the languages ​​of the world?

From the festival stage, alongside such renowned and inspiring PiR speakers as Radislav Gandapas, Gleb Arkhangelsky, Tatiana Mujitskaya, Fedor Konyukhov, and others, Oleg Dudkin spoke about a special international language – the language of the sailing brotherhood.

We thank the organizers of the PiR Festival for their interest in our project and for the opportunity to share the experience, dreams, and plans of the 5 Oceans Club with the incredibly active and energized audience of the festival.
