Journey to Snake Bay

Tuesday, 16 August
Destined for Snake Cove (Bukhta Zmeinaia) by nightfall, we traveled
most of the morning and afternoon on our two boats. No longer traveling
down Maloe More (Little Sea), the body of water between Ol'khon Island
and the mainland, we saw that the water was a good bit rougher in open
Baikal. By evening, we arrived on the eastern side of the lake at Snake
Cove and many of us took a quick dip in the sulfur hot springs for which
this bay is so famous. Most of us completed this experience by jumping
into the cold waters of Lake Baikal right after. As dusk approaches, we
are settling in for the night at Ongokonskaia Cove (Bukhta Ongokonskaia)
where we will be camping.
