Kruzenshtern’s trip

Russia's Kruzenshtern sailing ship will leave the port of Colon on Panama's Caribbean Sea and begin passage through the Panama Canal to the Pacific Ocean, a spokeswoman for the ship said.
The ship left its home port in Russia's exclave city of Kaliningrad for the second stage of the International Trans-Atlantic Expedition on December 1.
The ship had earlier dropped anchor in the Canary Islands' port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife as part of its voyage around the world.
"When the ship reaches the Pacific Ocean, it will lay a course for the Mexican port of Acapulco and then it will head to Vancouver, the capital for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games," Tatyana Babushkina said.
The Kruzenshtern will remain in the port of Vancouver during the entire period of the Winter Olympics due to take place on February 12-28.
