Sportcontest at the lovis

August 8th, 2008 by Kicke · No Comments

Friday morning at the lovis. The day seemed to be nice, lovely breakfast: fresh bread, out of the oven this morning, scrumble eggs and tasty warm chocolate. Everything looks perfect, exept the missing newspaper…. o no is it rain again? During the night the rain falls like a neverending shower. Wet clothes still reminding what happend. They are hanging all around. You can’t find an empty place.
We have to go on to Narva Jõesuu and for that we have to lift the anker. The sea isn’t deep only 7 meters, but the ankerchain is more than 21 meters long to hold the ship in position. A lot of people are needed to lift up the anker. You have to pull hard and fast. So its more fun to do it like a little sport contest. Who is the fastest? Who is the strongest? Who is a real anker hero? We have two big wheels which you have to pull to lift the anker. You can build two teams and than the game started. Actually you pull it together. This time we decided each person has to move the wheel 30 times. At the beginning 12 more or less motivated people standing in wind and rain and try to give their best. You pull hard and fast, but the ankerchain only move in small steps. It takes 30 minutes, blood, sweat and tears to lift the anker. But in the end you see happy faces, proud of their work. 24 hands maybe more have worked quit well.
