Have them. And we have …
Anton Timakov wrote on his page in the FB an extremely curious – and, most importantly, important – note. About what? Here you will read it yourself! We reprint it completely.
A small post （or large, do not know） how to close / open the border in Italy. I think those who faced this in Russia would be a little interesting.
I note right away that they did it more than once and not in the same place (if someone suddenly says, aa, it’s just lucky.
We go to the marina. Immediately, a mariner resorts and invites to the office to pay for parking (50-70-80 €, where as). Make out.
And if the border is CLOSED – no one guards you or prohibits where to go (our border guards and port authorities are now at a loss – confusion, violation of the state border, etc.)
Next, go to the police.
Hello. we need chek-in (or chek-out).
The policeman takes the passport and leaves for 10 minutes, makes stamps, then asks for ship's documents. JUST LOOKING AT THEM right at the door, gives and says: could you come into the office of the harbor master ？！ I ask, is it necessary?
Last time （when closing the border） the officer said: come in, say bye-bye, at the same time he smiled and waved his palm.
Actually – everything. From the moment the stamp appears in the passport – the border is open / closed, BUT you can still move – to the gas station, to the store, anywhere {but there is no need to abuse it, of course）. You are still not guarded, not customized, do not control and do not take for a potential enemy- Welcome!
The port captain （at whose office they may not speak English, and therefore your visit may be completely uninteresting to them at all） the procedure takes even less time. Often we are confronted with a dumb question: well, they say, they came (to the country), so go wherever you want, which is necessary from us ？！
So what, friends, what do you think – is this slobliness （well, like, the enemy will penetrate, etc.？ unwillingness to work такой Or is it just this approach to this issue – easier, easier !?
At the same time, several times the boats of GUARDIA DE FINANZA approached us from the darkness of the night (google that for the structure) – they shone with searchlights for a couple of minutes and just silently disappeared into the night (they looked at the crew’s response, they were looking for illegal immigrants). That is, they see who they need. Know what you need.
We have no AISA. The reflector and the one in the closet lies.
And no agents to you, heaps of letters, horrible port moorings …
I don’t understand, at least kill me … we came up with a lot in the country {in the country in the sense of, we adopted a lot of good and wonderful things from the same Europe – we have a lot of things that they don’t have until now.
But humanity … understanding … simplicity, which will facilitate both life and work – we apparently gave away to our neighbors, but we did not have any more.
And each boss wants to turn his nut into a complex system mechanism.
If port surveillance – do not come in slaps, send a request in 48 hours. Nsli border guards – write a letter, do not come at night, file a ladder.
If the port is just do it ahtung- payment of the berth at least 100 meters, payment only through the agent во mandatory paramilitary security ….
I can only say about the customs (in Novorossiysk) ONLY GOOD, because at the approach to the pier – the inspector was already standing. He refused tea altogether, saying that he was obliged to “arrange” us in 30 minutes. I cannot say that I am 100% attributing this to the fact that the chief (or even two customs) was either removed or put at all, no … depends on the person. On how he does his job and what opinion wants to leave me currently (again, I have only positive feedback about the customs)
The yacht comes to Russia, and she is ready to go. wait agent, requests, mooring plan, clearance of vtkt and bla bla bla … weather / bad weather and wait.
WELL HOW KAAAAK can treat people like this ？！
No one says: Captain, get up to the pier where it is safe and wait calmly. （I don’t even say – get up and go make out you alone）
I was personally told that a wind of hurricane force is expected （up to 60 units, get off the anchor, go into the sea to drift （the agent did not have time to issue all the papers before bad weather comes. And at this moment you clearly realize that your attitude towards you is like a jerk. Here is a steamer big- yeah. he loot lucky. for it can fly “from above”. And you on your yacht are nobody and your life is not interesting to anyone.
And in that situation （I refused, of course, to leave and decided to just go to the yacht club and hide there waiting for the weather） one of the frontier commanders ordered (I later found out at the meeting from him) that put in the yacht club guarding, but not hindering the parking, mooring and waiting for better weather.
This is not Putin, who ordered everyone specifically, this is a personal initiative of a single chief (shift, service, port, etc.)
I understand – in a country where yachting is developed, as we have grain transportation by KAMAZ (I mean the number) and the coastline is almost the entire state border of the country – every second policeman there, every third port captain and berth chief, went at least once on a yacht, participated in regattas …- they understand everything from the inside and try to RELAX all the procedures, leave a pleasant impression, create a safe environment …
And we have … Gentlemen, what did you do to facilitate, simplify, and good memories?! （I know that there are not a few who read such “me”, including from the list of port authorities） YES NOTHING. Nothing at all.
I have a recording of the conference in Moscow under the chairmanship of Olersky, where he gives CLEAR instructions to create conditions and opportunities for yachtsmen to make out REMOTELY (online), arguing that the captain of a yacht, who came from afar, did not have to go a few kilometers to Captain and they will not let go in shorts, that is, “there” there is logic, understanding, humanity – they see the problem, if not always …
This entry is 2016.
Something has been done since？ Answer it yourself …
In Gelendzhik, the captains of rental yachts are drawn up if passengers are without life jackets.
In Yekaterinburg, the conductor, who kicked out the child （the girl forgot the money to travel） from the bus at 20 degrees of frost, was filed in the same article (as on the captains of yachts in Gelendzhik) – REMAINING IN DANGER.
How to assess the actions of the port authorities expelling the sailing yacht from the port to the hurricane wind？ … but not at all. In this case, the fault is again the captain.
It’s a pity, you can’t collect such “bosses” aboard a yacht and go with them for 100 miles in good weather! (Because standing on the bridge of the tanker is one thing and feeling every gust of wind and wave is completely different on the bridge of the yacht.) maybe then even an understanding of what is happening would have changed a little？ ..
I still hope that this generation of pseudo-commanders will be replaced by a new generation of young, modern, mobile and adequate leaders who are still ready to solve existing problems, rather than unsubscribe to Moscow that everything is fine ..
And in the end.
In 2015, when I was still working in the Novorossiysk portnadzor, the sailing ship Mir came to our port.
I was on duty on the night shift and from the window of the 4th floor in the morning with the whole shift (5 people) watched as several buses changed cadets of the Vladivostok school, who were doing the practice on a sailboat …
Looking at this, the peasants discussed what, they say, there is a practice on a sailboat for a shipowner or a shipowner — neither the cargo system, nor the CPU, etc., they say, a waste of time.
At about 7.30 in the morning, our main biggest chef appeared in the port control room, said hello, asked how things were going, and then went to the window and said, oo, the other students came to practice … imagine how lucky they were to practice on a sailboat ？！
And the entire port surveillance, nodding in one voice, very lucky, very much, it is better to pass the practice on a sailboat, you can’t think of anything better!
For some reason I felt funny and sad at that moment. For 2 minutes, only ONE person entered and went into the office, and 4ro changed immediately …
If you wish to write something like that in the comments … it's Russia, nobody needs anything and blah blah, leave this opinion to yourself better, lately only this is heard （mostly from the sofa “experts” and idlers） and ask yourself: do you need it and what have you done to make it better ？！
And so, thank you for your attention and passing wind to all … let at the end of the road only Novorossiysk customs awaits you.
