25941. At the cave survey point 22. The cave was surveyed several times, very accurate measurements were made at the beginning of the author's caving career, in the sixties of the past century by the members of his caving home team, DZRJL (Ljubljana Cave Exploration Society).


 

 


 
25942. And what should here be interesting?


 

 


 
25943. The first boat led by Gašper has already had its turn in taking pictures of Piratska ladja / Pirate Ship flowstone island, with the second boat, led by Miro, as picture object. Now Gašper is turning the boat to steer it back to Piratska ladja so that the second boat can also have a share of the photo session.


 

 


 
25944. The Piratska ladja / Pirate ship

25961. The first boat arrived to Kalvarija, a place where the stream from Pisani rov / Gay Coloured Tunnel (center right) flows into the stream, coming from Blata cave sleeve.

25962. Gašper is turning the boat before landing

25969. ... boarding the boats again.


 

 


 
25970. Miro was the last to embark.

25973. Piratska ladja / Pirate ship in a wider setting


 

 


 
25975. A short walk from one lake to another ...


 

 


 
25976. .. and the boat ...


 

 


 
25977. ... will soon be ...


 

 


 
25978. ... back in the water.


 

 


 
25979. Disembarking in Beneški pristan / Port of Venice ...


 

 


 
25980. ... and off we go again. The water is just below normal, as attested by the narrow light brown strip above the water line, and to the luck of the visitors it is very clear.


 

 


 
25982. Gašper with his 28 kg inflatable boat he carried across all the lake barriers.
