  2. What events and fancy sights! I'm sure you'll encounter more of those in the future. And by that, it surely wouldn't be a stretch to have some of those boats for yourself. Anyway, it should be cool and is not a far off dream as you'd think it is. Just do it to relax and reward yourself, which is always a fulfilling thing, right? Thanks for sharing that! All the best!
