27th of May was 302nd anniversary of St.Petersburg. Celebrations included naval festivities on Neva river; "reenactment" of a fight between 'Swedish' sailing ship and Russian row boats (that took place in May 1703 on same very spot) was the main attraction. After we had successfully 'captured' the vessel by boarding, we got excellent opportunity to stay onboard for the whole day. As a marines of Tsar Peter we spent this time in excercises or just walking around the deck and trying to not interfere in sailors' job. Another bright bit of living history! ***
