Neretva boatmen cross English Channel

PLOCE, June 26 (Hina) - A 13-strong team of Neretva boatmen (Neretvanski Ladjari) on Friday crossed the English Channel in a gondola despite big waves, a strong wind and strong sea currents, managing to pass the 36-kilometre route from Dover, Great Britain, to Calais, France, in three hours and 42 minutes.
PLOCE, June 26 (Hina) - A 13-strong team of Neretva boatmen (Neretvanski Ladjari) on Friday crossed the English Channel in a gondola despite big waves, a strong wind and strong sea currents, managing to pass the 36-kilometre route from Dover, Great Britain, to Calais, France, in three hours and 42 minutes.

The Croatian boatmen planned to make this adventure on Thursday, 25 June, when Croatia celebrates Statehood Day, however, bad weather prevented them.

The team of 10 rowers, one drummer and two coxswains will be received by the Croatian Ambassador to France, Mirko Galic, at a ceremony in Paris set for Saturday.

The 36-kilometre crossing between Dover and Calais was some 10 kilometres longer than the boatmen's traditional race along the Neretva River, southern Croatia, in August.
