Woensdag de 16 Juli (16.07.2003 Wednesday)
16.14 After tomorrow, at morning of 18th of July we’ll arrived to Falmouth. Today after launch we passed Pa de Kale - the most narrow place between England and Europe.
18.40 Oh, I want to be at home and see first steps of Koshkatjes* in our house! When I will come they will know everything, and I will be new and big and not with four clutches, but with two below and two are dangling and with long hair on the head like lion. They will be scared of me both 80). Where am I now!!!???
23.51 Oh, I had today all day troubles with sending sms to You. But I got over the difficulties. And Koshkatjes are pissing in living room? I can understand them - big box with dark inside and with big door. I think they need toilette without roof first. What do You think?
*Koshkatjes - образовано от слияния русского "кошка" и голландского уменьшительно-ласкательного суффикса "tjes", буквально - котята.

23.56 I just finished to watch “Catch me if you can”. Today has been bad weather. I was making white long downy things for reversion of steel line for safety of the sails all day. A few times wave make me throughout wet, but I was going on my work. Ship was rolling, even Etjen who work with me at first, went away to look for more stable place, but I was going on my work. I was like firm stannic tell-tale. I just got two sms from You and sent answer, You are awake now, I think. I have a hard time without You. Sometimes I had been thinking that we will have no success. But I got 2 Your mailtjes from today, Your sms and it helped so much. I’m like firm stannic tell-tale. I will not brake in my mind. I will hold out against the bad circumstances. With You. With koshkatjes.
After work I wrote today four cables - two cables to home, for mother and grandparents, and two for my friends (Tanja and Victor), who got !!!!merried!!! last Friday and in first Saturday they will have celebration. And wrote answer for little Natasha. And played one time Kniffel with Sasha and Algis. I didn’t want to play, but they force me. And I won with three kniffels. This game takes a lot time, I can do a lot of another important things. I hope after Falmouth in during 10 days I will organize my time and myself. Because days look the same and I feel time is going away. I will call You soon. I’m OK. And I will be OK. Good night, My Beloved and Suba&Bota.

Vrijdag de 18 Juli (18.07.2003 Friday)
12.09 We finished with mooring operation, I came to radio room and got to know last news. I couldn’t receive it yesterday. And it is really so nice - all news about Koshkatjes - ‘Bota is asking for my hands’ and ‘they were so strong and brave at the doctor’. I will call you as soon as possible, when I will find all parts of it - currency exchange, point of selling card, card and telephone.
I think, I lost my national passport. I don’t know where, I hope somewhere in Your car or house, but… I don’t have it in my bag pack and in my cabin. But I remember, that once I found one my passport on my seat in the car. I hope You will find it.

22.19 Good evening, My Tresure. But dictionary says, that I need to call You ‘darling’. Why, I can call You My Tresure, because I will not change You for anything. Dutch-English dictionary says I can call You also ‘sweetheart’. Well, I like it too. And ‘darling’ - I heard it in different movies and I like it not so much. But anyway - My Love doesn’t depend from name of You, My Sweetheart.
You didn’t get my letter yet, I think. Listen the story. In time of first my walk to the Falmouth I sow nice picture with three cats who were standing one on another like pyramid and smiling. I don’t know how You can imagine smiling cats, but it is not matter. I thought that when I will change my money for pounds, I will come back and buy this card. Next day I came to shop-gallery when (I was sure about it) I sow this card. But it was another shop which one I didn’t remember. I ran through all shops in long shop street three times and didn’t find this postcard. I was a little bit sad, because it would be nice in theme card, but... You got something else I hope You like.
Yesterday after Your call I made walking trip through the city and ocean coast to Castle on the hill. I found it so nice - I was not hurry, nice weather, nice views. But with You... with You we could seat on the sand or grass, talk, make jokes, smile, kiss.. it was lonely place, where nobody can see us... Yes, I’m thinking about it. In Europe, next to city You never find nice lonely place. Oh, I think I will dream about it at night. Good Night, Koshkatje...
Donderdag de 24 Juli (24.07.2003 Thursday)
12.18 I made You awake today, and I’m remembering how You sounded at morning, when I told wit You by telephone in Falmouth, it was so sweet, so soft, so warm. I wanted to hug You strong or stroke or let You stretch oneself. I called You first, ‘cause I sent to You yesterday mailtje so late, at 11 of Your time. And yesterday I didn’t have contact for handy.
We left Falmouth at 9 o’clock in Thursday. I took a lot of pictures there, it is another England, than tiresome Portsmouth. In 21st of July has been birthday of one motorman, and I looked out in my things for present and found just poster with drawn sail ships and Kruzenshtern, which I bought in Wilhelmshaven, and one box of tea, which you gave to me. Another is opened already. At evening he said me: ’Can I change Your presents for three yours the most nice pictures of Falmouth?’ Of course, I will present him pictures too. But for Second Michael and Gitchkin I didn’t have any presents. I congratulated them by words of mouth and didn’t come. I will present to them something in Sweden.
Английский берег.
Фалмут: прогулки по городу и окрестностям.
Скалистое побережье. При отливе вода отступила и открыла несколько гротов и пещер.
А потом вода начала прибывать, и на пришлось карабкаться по скалам.
На набережной - граница прилива.
Крепость на холме.
