On Friday, 11 June, I visited Bydgoszcz. It was a special occasion – the start of the 3-day event ‘Ster na Bydgoszcz’ (Set course for Bydgoszcz).
It makes me jealous seeing how much is being done for water in this city. If you can reach Berlin by water from Bydgoszcz, it is possible to reach the sea too. That is why city authorities and the citizens of Bydgoszcz want to build a proper marina. Theoretically, we are talking about a city in central Poland, but sails are present here in everyday life to a much greater extent than in other Baltic cities.
Try to imagine that the citizens of Bydgoszcz will soon have the opportunity to catch some sun on a beach made of real Baltic sand! Keep it up, give a big hand for city authorities and sailors from Bydgoszcz. 

I was welcomed heartily. I met with the Mayor, I visited the fair, attended a photo contest and a post-cruise meeting. My presentation was intertwined with a performance by Adam Mordka and Friends group. There was great music, beautiful singing and fiery flamenco dancing. The profit from the sale of Adam Mordka and Marcin Skotnicki’s CD entitled ‘Anioły i Demony’ (Angels and Demons) was donated to the “Mimo Wszystko” (‘Against all Odds’) foundation. Many thanks to you all!!!
I would like to thank for inviting me and for allowing me to take part in all the events.
