Sulkava Rowing Race

Sulkava Rowing Race is Finland´s biggest rowing event with over 10 000 rowers and over 20 000 visitors. The route rowed is about 60 km.

I took part in the race with workmates 15 years ago, didn't compete as many others too. It took two days, slept in a big tent, lots of bad jokes and laughing.

This boat was rowed by a team of women, when a motor boat drove at full speed right next to it. Not the wisest thing to do by the driver, I think, but he gave a nice effect for the photo.

Sun is setting right now, the lake is completely still, it's utterly beautiful. I wonder if I'll go to sleep at all...
