Every year, in summer, there is going Tall ship races in my city Klaipeda, Lithuania. At the same time, our city celebrates the day of the sea and it is also the Birthday of our city. For this occasion, there come many yachts from all corners of the world. Some come many years already as they like our feast, some are new, but you can meet barquentines, yachts from any corner of the world. Although, then most come from the Europe countries.
