August 22^st 2004
In the morning we all woke up early and gathered in the dive equipment room and started disassembling the units for transport. At this point we just wanted to get back to Denmark. On the way back to Anadyr we went to a remote archeological site on the north coast of Chukotka to pick up a team of archaeologists that had been working there for 1.5 months. However, this was actually a bit of a surprise because we were kind of in a hurry to make it to Anadyr on schedule. It became pretty clear that we had to confront the expedition leader with our concerns about reaching our plain out of Anadyr in time. Max tried to calm us down by saying this was no big deal, but when he realised that we also knew how to read the sea chart and calculate the ETA he confessed to the fact that we would not be able to reach our connection out of Anadyr. However, passing the Bering Strait in daylight was an impressive experience, absolute breathtaking scenery cleansing the mind for negative vibrations. With the help of Oleg, Alexander and Max we managed to work out a solution to minimize our time loss. This would bring us back to Denmark one day later than initially planned.
With the expedition were quit a bit of media people and they were all thirsting for some kind of ending to the Tsjeluskin Expedition 2004. Finally the expedition leader had to establish a small press conference in order to satisfy the hungry press people. The message was clear, the expedition had failed to find the Tsjeluskin but then again a failure is also a good reason to start planning the next attempt.
