On 7 July, Spangberg left with a detachment of 209 men and much of the cargo ; on 27 July apprentice shipbuilder Fyodor Kozlov led a small party to reach Okhotsk ahead of Spangberg, both to prepare food supplies and to start work repairing the Vostok and building a new ship ( the Fortuna ) needed to carry the party across the bay from Okhotsk to the Kamchatka peninsula.

On 6 January 1727 Spangberg and two other men, who had together formed an advance party carrying the most vital items for the expedition, reached Okhotsk ; ten days later sixty others joined them, although many were ill. Parties sent by Bering back along the trail from Okhotsk rescued seven men and much of the cargo that had been left behind.

Bering departed St. Petersburg in February 1725 at the head of a 34-man expedition, aided by the expertise of lieutenants Martin Spangberg and Aleksei Chirikov.

His lieutenants for the journey, which would become known as the First Kamchatka Expedition, were the hardened fellow Dane Martin Spangberg and the well-educated but relatively inexperienced Russian Aleksei Chirikov, a respected naval instructor.

The Vostok was readied and the Fortuna built at a rapid pace, with the first party ( 48 men commanded by Spangberg and comprising those required to start work on the ships that would have to be built in Kamchatka itself as soon as possible ) leaving in June 1727.

The arrival of such a large party with such great demands – and so soon after Spangberg had made similar demands – put a strain on the town.

Spangberg was, however, able to ready the ships the expedition needed.

On 29 June 1538, Spangberg set off for the Kuril Islands with the three ships he had prepared.

Bering delayed, promising a partial report from Spangberg and a fuller report later.

Over the next three years, Bering himself was criticised on an increasingly regular basis ( his salary had already been halved in 1537 when the originally planned four years ran out ); the delays also caused friction between Bering, Chirikov ( who felt unduly constrained ) and Spangberg ( who felt Bering was too weak in his dealings with the local peoples ).

In December 1731 he would be awarded 1000 roubles and promoted to captain-commander, his first noble rank ( Spangberg and Chirikov were similarly promoted to captain ).

Whilst Spangberg headed east to Okhotsk, Bering waited in Yakutsk, preparing two ships on the Lena ( one would be captained by Vasili Pronchishchev and the other first by Peter Lassenius and later by Dmitry Laptev ).
