Since the quick demise of the Staena-Daena ferry service between, Sokcho and Zarubino. We are back to DBS, from Donghae to Vladivostok.
Meaning,,, Hiring Yuri, for the customs clearance,, three day wait at Vladivostok, for stevedores to unload the boat.
Good news ,,the cook on the DBS ferry is a Korean HUBBer ,, he will give you an extra egg or two.
DBS leaves, on Sunday 14:00 hours,, you must be on board by 12, check your bike in by 11 AM.
DBS Cruise Ferry
DBS also goes to Japan, from Donghae.
Best,,, fastest and safest way to Dong Hae is to head East, from Seoul,, catch highway 6 ,, then 44 all the way to Yang Yang, on the East Sea coast ,, then head south on 7 to Donghae. Seoul to Yang Yang appx 4 hours Yang Yang to Donghae appx one hour.

Plenty of motels ,, many nice beaches,, you can camp literally any where,, great sea food.
Korean bikers on adventure type bikes are always on look out for foreign bikers,, so if you need help ,, just holler.
Good luck.
