Most foreigners arrive in Vladivostok by plane, train or maybe by ship.
But Noel Marshall and sailing partner Ann Fraser sailed into the city on a 38 foot yacht in late June - possibly the first Britons ever to arrive this way. The first was to sail to New Jersey where I had been an exchan ge student in my youth and to attend the 40th anniversary of my graduation party. The second goal, which was just a twinkling in the eye, was to visit Russia's Eastern seaboard. Having achieved his first objective, Marshall sailed south to the Caribbean, spending Christmas 1994 in St Lucia, before continuing his journey via the Panama Canal, the Galapagos Islands, Hawaii, Micronesia, Guam and Japan to Vladivostok. I was in Moscow twice at the embassy for six plus years, first in the 60s and then just after Gorbachev in 1986.
