From drummer of Dragon Boat

July 12th, 2008 by Anna · No Comments

  • Mooo-ving Baltic Sea! Mooo-ving Baltic Sea! - our team is paddling is the rhythm. Going from one side of Motlawa to another and back in Dragon Boat.
  • We are the only one in life-belts. Other three teams – two companies from the seaside (dark blue and red T-shirts) and team of young paddlers from Gdansk (blue T-shirts) are talking the meeting very seriously.
  • For us Dragon Boat Race is rather parade. For them race is race.
  • We have one professional steering man, waving to everybody Kim and two boats always around us: police and sea lifeguards. One of the rivals even do not have a drummer.
  • We arrived first to the port (because for first time it was really enough!). They arrived wet (were paddling so strongly) and while parking the boat they destroyed dragon head from the front of the boat (they were paddling so strongly!).
  • They were fast, We had fun!

Neptun has seen it

Our stage and info-tent are standing in the most touristic place in Gdansk you can imagine. Neptun is looking on us from the Fontaine twenty four hours a day.
First he has seen screening ten ‘Stories from the Seaside’. Together with all people sitting in the pubs around and standing in the line for ice-creams. He is strong guy so even with big delay of program he also manged to watch ‘Rejs’ – Polish classical movie which finished after 2am.
Then he had a look on our tent which was attracting attention of Polish party boys. Together with security and Suza which was sleeping inside the tent on Bionade boxes. Everything in Dluga Street, in the heart of Gdansk.

Rainy rainy Sunday

Is it anything worse for any outdoor festival than rain? I don’t think so. After hot morning Gdansk changed in the evening into big shower. And even watching ‘Bolek i Lolek’ under the shower is difficult, isn’t it?
