River survey in central Tartarstan, the closest town to the survey area being
Alekseevskoye. Surveying the dammed resevoir where the
Kama River joins the Volga. It took a 15 hour journey from Moscow due east by road through Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan. Stayed in a roadside motel for a week living on borscht and stews.
Interesting installation on a very small boat, made more interesting when survey grade Javad GPS failed to work and had to use a
key fob bluetooth GPS for positioning. Also no motion sensor provided so had to balance the boat by siting 3 heavyweight Russians on the back seat of the boatfor trim and telling them not to move!
