I'm pretty sure it was a freshwater trip, as they were on Lake Baikal. By the way, I'm not a fanatic on either side of the equation (pro or con deck loads), but I do try to avoid loads that look like they will create difficult rescue scenarios, excessive windage or water pressure on the baggage itself. If you look at some of the photos, you can see a drybag nearly the size of a GI Duffel on the back. At times they appear to be stacked to neck height. Then, there are the peli cases and another large drybag up front. Oh, and yes, the battery charging solar panels look very cool.
