"Sailing Round Russia” - Wallace Clark (Wallace Clark Book Sales) This book was on the chart table when John and Maxine sailed through Russia. Miles Clark's yacht "Wild Goose" really was the first foreign yacht to go through Russia albeit under (temporary) Russian flag with lots of imposed Russians. But Miles was truly groundbreaking! John and Maxine have dedicated their book to Miles.
