Is this real or some sort of commie propaganda?

Is this real or some sort of commie propaganda? Beats me! A russian friend of mine sent it to me, but it does seem pretty unbelievable. _________________ Lets FLY SalmonSlayer Since 27 Nov 2005 648 Posts Addicted CGKA Member Sat Jul 16, 11 9:05 am     I read that they had a support boat about half of the way but it had to turn back due to rough seas. That just means they did not have a big enough boat. the Bering Sea can be rough, but, there are plenty of days when there is not enough wind to kite too. Some Alaskans made an attempt earlier, but, never had enough wind to make the attempt in the time they had allotted.
