hi folks,

any cruisers out there know if you can navigate the volga don canal
from the black sea to the caspian sea ? i know you "can" navigate it,
the question really is "may" you navigate it, that is, is it possible
to get permission from the russian federation to do so as a private
sailboat. if so, does anyone know what the draft and height
restrictions are on the journey ?

thanks in advance!
