The Preparation for the Voyage. In the beginning there was a word. The word told by the well-known Norwegian traveler Thor Heyerdal about his extraordinary travel on a balsa raft "Kon-Tiki". We have read many other books about rafts, schooners, boats and yachts and other vessels. A crazy idea has come to our minds - to travel down the River on a wooden raft. There were three brave fellows: Vanja, Vova and Vasja. At first we intended to name our raft - "VVV", as the initial letters of our names. But lately we memorized more ancient times: " Veni, vidi, vici ". But Vasily noticed, that the Roman Empire was crushed some day. (to tell the truth, he simply would not like to close the list and he always liked to be ahead). And we needed a reliable raft. A thought suddenly struck us. We remembered about the Ark. The old man Noah had THREE sons. It would be "The Ark" - such was our decision. As you would name your raft so would she float. Our truly imperishable flag was made from snow-white fiberglass clothes. The size was 160 X 80, on each side of it there was an image of a raft consisting of four red stripes, above them was a triangular sail, and still above there was a blue tag. And large black letters of the name were below. Jerome K. Jerome has scientifically proved, that THREE was the most optimum number of any crew. The starting point of our route has been chosen not accidentally. Just at the place, where the 56-th parallel crosses the 40-th meridian, the River flows along an ancient tectonic break.
