In the middle of nowhere: time to tell you about Teller. Today we had a walk around Teller and met some interesting people. The inhabitants of this small town, only 270 people, are very curious about our expedition. - posted by Geza, Constantin and Andre

So glad that we finally have our boats and that they survived the journey from Portugal to Alaska in one piece. We went directly on sea to test the boats. We plan to go to Teller soon as our crew will be completed within the next days.
