The traditional boat parade and regatta in Crikvenica is planned for the carnival season. The event itself is at the end of the main tourist season and takes place as part of the fishing week. So there is a date that has been set a long time ago and you have to manage it as best you can. The atmosphere has been agitated over the past week, so it is difficult to predict sailing conditions. The organizers did not let themselves be fooled and stuck to the long-established date. Since there was all kinds of weather that day: rain, sun, drizzle... it turned out that the specific time was probably the best in the real circumstances. We sailed in a light wind between two heavy rains.

Crikvenica is a big name in our tourist world. Crikvenica also has a fishing past. Both business activities depend a lot on weather conditions, so they patiently accept everything that happens and adapt to the conditions. So half an hour before the specified sailing time, people with oars and masts with furled sails appeared in the port. Also, boats have arrived from the leaden gray sea, ready to sail. There will be no competitive sailing, but defiant sailing will.

In good weather, Crikvenica has kilometers of beaches, promenades, picnic areas and restaurants. In rainy weather, there are promenades and restaurants. In bad weather, the restaurants remain. There is something for everyone. After dinner, when someone has reached for the accordion, the rain is completely forgotten, and we wait until the next carnival festivities are over to plan the next fishing week..
