The international sea rowing competition of Saint Malo.

Sunday, September the 30th we went to Saint Malo to take part to a Rowing competition. Wake up at 5 A.M - it’s soon- and direction to UNA . At 6 A.M I was with three of my friends in the car in direction of Saint Malo. In the car the mood was good, laughing and making jokes about all and nothing. We arrived at 8 A.M in order to assist to the strokes and cox meeting. After direction to the harbour to prepare the boat and put it on the water. The race field on Saint Malo bay was beautiful, with the light house, the Chateaubriand’s castle and the little islands on this clear blue water. On the starting line we were more than 30 boats and the race was hard; the boat is old and heavy and the race is long (12 km). At the end we arrived 2nd (but by the bottom of the classification). The race finished, we tidied the boat and the oars, and drink a beer on the sea side. As the weather was sunny, it was a pleasure to chat about the race and other things. Moreover we went to eat a pizza in a little restaurant in Saint Malo laughing like every time. Last but not least we finish our rowing trip visiting Saint Malo before leaving. It ‘ s so cute and full of history. The return to Nantes was harder, everybody was sleeping in the car but super driver Momo was here to bring back us. I would like to thank our cox for his last race with us, J-P you will miss us, and all the team (momo the driver, Seb and Mate (our famous Hungarian rower)) for their good mood and jokes.
