Terry seventies. The Cold War. The Iron Curtain. Is anchored in some American port, slightly away from the shore of the Soviet merchant ship. Everything is quiet, calm, culturally. Suddenly, some sailor jumps slightly scurrying across the board and flops into the water, then begins struggling to row, sail to the American coast. And here is the beginning. Noise, screams, wails. Only hear at all possible languages. "All hands on top. In places. Boat on the water. "And here begins the real regatta. Yes, such that the Olympians would envy. With the Soviet ship on the ropes very quickly lower the boats. Simultaneously, some standing next to a Canadian steamer down to the water, too, rushes boat full of Canadian sailors with white caps and pompons on top. So to say sports uniforms. Then a light slap. boats on water. Team boatswain - "Come Nava. One-two, one-two. "And both sides are exhausted to rush sailor boat. The sailors rowed hard. Well firstly it's just fun.

Urge them not even necessary, because they know - miss a fugitive and all. No beach, no severance, no trips to the land, even in the poorest African countries. And yet no-shopping purchases, no exchanges, no foreign jeans. So the half-year voyages, under the scorching sun, in the heat and stuffiness down the drain. Therefore, each team wants to get to the first floating matrosika. Get the top prize. If matrosika first to get the Canadian team, everything is simple and clear. Sailor grabs the outstretched hands.
