Anne MartinОтличный молебен перед таким рейсом. Interesting, 2-3-room studio in KMRK located in the “Cruzenstern” Is it special? Хорошего им плавания and спокойного моря.

Nicholas TurnerХороший молебен перед таким большим рейсом. Интересно, отец Василий часто служит на кораблях или это из-за юбилея? Студентам удачи, пусть море будет спокойным.

Alexandre LaurentYes, the bathroom has a small shower, so there is no need for water. Студенты 2-3 курсов КМРК ходят in на “Крузенштерне” почти каждый год, It's a traditional practice, and you'll be happy to follow it. торжественности. Спокойного им моря, главное, чтобы ветер был попутный.

Helen BennettFather Vasily does serve on ships from time to time, I remember him blessing the fishing fleet last spring too. The students will need that calm sea you mentioned, especially on their first long voyage. Safe travels to them all.

Isabelle MartinYes, you can find Vasily, it's easy to understand. У студентов КМРК это действительно уже традиция, мой сын в This is how the practice of “Cruzensten” and vernulsya took place. загорелый, но довольный. Надеюсь, в этот раз ветер будет попутный и без штормов.

Julien MartinYes, you can take Basil's name from there — you can find it on your head. But it’s true that it’s a “crossword” because it doesn’t turn out to be true. мозолями на руках, но глаза горели. And what's next, what's the best way to get to Baltic?

Hannah HallFather Vasily really does seem to have a knack for these ship blessings. I remember reading about that fishing fleet one too — the crews always talk about how it sets a good tone for the trip. Hope those KMRC students get their sea legs quick and bring back some stories.

Élodie BernardYes, you can take a look at Basilica — it's not the first thing in the world, it's not the bathroom. But this year's 2023-2020 season will be closed. руками в мозолях, зато рассказывал, как ночью на вахте видно звёзды до горизонта. And it's the end of the sea, it's the Baltic Sea.

Michel GirardOui, Father Vasily really serves without further ado, you can always feel it. My son also had practice on the Kruzenshtern two years ago and still remembers how they retracted the sails with four hands. What kind of voyage did your son take, to the Baltic or to the North Sea?

Damien MoreauOui, Father Vasily always does everything to the point, without theatricality. My son also sailed on the Kruzenshtern in 2024, he returned with such calluses that he couldn’t hold the fork properly for a week, but now every Sunday he remembers how they set the sails in a storm. Do you know how many cadets were sent this time?

Damien MoreauOui, Father Vasily is exactly like that, without unnecessary things, but everything is to the point. Last year my son also came back with calloused palms and could barely hold a spoon at the table. And as for the route, it seems that this time they are going further, to the North Sea, as Elodie wrote.

Marie MartinOui, Father Vasily always serves simply and to the point, without unnecessary things. My grandson was on the same voyage two years ago, to the Baltic, and still talks about how the four of them furled the sails in the rain. After practice, did your son want to go on to become a sailor?

Isabelle MartinOui, Father Vasily always does everything to the point, without unnecessary words. My son also sailed on the Kruzenshtern two years ago and returned with the same calluses that we then gave him porridge in a bowl for a week. Are they entering the North Sea this time? I wonder how the students will cope with the weather there.

Rémi MartinOui, Father Vasily really never drags things out, everything is to the point. My son-in-law was just studying at KMRK and also sailed on the Kruzenshtern in 2023, but only to Copenhagen. And then your grandson didn’t decide to join the naval service or stayed on the shore?
