Russian sailors in distress due to sharks arrived in the Australian Sunshine Coast. This was reported to TASS by Captain Stanislav Berezkin.
The Russians intend to go to Brisbane to rest and plan the continuation of the expedition. According to Berezkin, they will not be able to quickly find a new inflatable catamaran in Australia, so the trip will have to continue on a ship with rigid sides.
The crew plans to sail to Jakarta, cross the Indian Ocean, reach Europe through the Suez Canal and complete the round-the-world trip in Kronstadt.
Recall that the catamaran of the round-the-world expedition with the Russians was attacked by sharks in the Pacific Ocean. The first attack occurred on September 4, during which the catamaran’s rear left balloon was damaged. On September 5, the sharks again attacked the ship and bit through the right balloon.
The crew was forced to give an SOS signal. They were picked up by the cargo ship Dugong Ace, bound for Shanghai.
