Jeden z uczestników zeszłorocznego Raid Poland (Fredrik Koivusalo) opowiedział swoją historię sprzed lat o "bezprawnym naruszeniu wód terytorialnych Rosji", którą tak streścił Keith Muscott w swojej relacji:

A Finnish friend in the boat with us had done just that years previously, in the dark. Suddenly night had turned into day as three white Very flares exploded above their heads, fired from a Russian patrol boat speeding towards them. Fredrik asked his crew what the signal meant, and was told, incorrectly, ‘Welcome to Russia.’ So he pressed on.
