Interview with Pallada's cadets

Back
The guys shared their impressions of the practice on the Pallada.
Oleg Tyukin a navigational cadet of the Far Eastern State Technical Fisheries University (FESTFU):

The greatest impression is the port cities which we visited. It was also amazing to cross three oceans at once (Pacific, Atlantic and Indian).

Denis Gnilozub — a navigational cadet of Kamchatka State Technical University:

Working aloft and "all hands on deck" trainings leave strongest impression. It was a breathtaking experience.

Mikhail Nikolenko — a refrigeration cadet of FESTFU college:

I like everything related to my future profession: watches in the engine room, work under supervision of refrigeration engineer and taking over some useful tips from him.

Grigoriy Kholodkov — a navigational cadet of Kamchatka State Technical University:

Everyone was afraid of difficulties we might face but actually there is nothing to fear. Moreover, we have a lot of free time on board and I do like it.

Yaroslav Sheptor – a navigational cadet of FESTFU:

I absolutely liked the regatta of the three tall ships: Pallada, Sedov and Kruzenshtern. I felt the spirit of brotherhood on board. All of us (the whole crew and cadets) were working as one team united by a common goal. Everyone was ready to give each other a helping hand and I really appreciated it.

Alexey Moskvich — a navigational cadet of Vladivostok Maritime Fishing College:

During my practice on the Pallada, I realized that I am up to this profession and I would like to get into navigation.

Ivan Nekrasov — an electrical engineering cadet of FESTFU:

I liked the ports we visited and I cannot forget three stormy days in the Atlantic. Actually I have a myriad of vivid impressions.

Dmitriy Krayev — a refrigeration cadet of Kamchatka State Technical University:

I enjoyed three days in the Atlantic. They were really memorable.

Ivan Aliyev — an engineering cadet of FESTFU college:

I remember the storms. And, of course, watches in the engine room as it is a good practice of my future profession.

Maxim Mordan —a navigational cadet of Vladivostok Maritime Fishing College:

I like climbing to the upper yards and enjoy uninterrupted sea views. The most complicated thing is monotony of life on board but one can get used to it.
