The "marenda" (breakfast) on the pier is a gathering for friends and guests. It's a chance for visitors, tourists and passerby to talk to the participants of the events, get informed on the upcoming events, and have a breakfast of the simple but delicious dish of grilled sardines.
The crews are already arriving. The crew from Hvar is here ahead of time. They've sailed for two days from Hvar to Murter, and started early enough in case of bad weather. The crew from Rab is here too. Even though they're sailing outside the regular competition, they wanted to make sure to be here in time for the race
The organizers were showing off the Kurnatarica, the pride of Murter's shipyards, the mascot of sorts of Murter's sail race, hailed as one of the most beautiful ships in the Adriatic.
