Manchester CIty

My favorite football club is Manchester City. He comes from England and plays in the Premier League. The club was founded in 1880 under the name Saint Marks. The stadium they play called Etihad Stadium. The current coach of the club is Pep Guardiola, he was a midfielder of Barcelona. This season, Manchester is going to win the League Cup, outclassed the other club, showing who is the real legend. In my opinion, the best player in the club is Sergio Aguero, the striker. In the future, I will go for a match in Manchester.

Polish sailing ships: Pogoria

The known Polish sailor Krzysztof Baranowski gave the idea of building a sailing ship for Bractwo Żelaznej Szekli and in 1980 that idea was realised. Pogoria is the first big sailing ship which was designed by Zygmunt Choreń and it is prototype for another three sailing ships: Iskra, Bulgarian Kariakra and Oceania (ship which was experimental sailing ship experimental PAN - Polish Academy of Science).
Pogoria's debut was in Cutty Sark Regatta in 1980 finished the won one of phases, was very important because this ship from the first was controversy. It's building was during economic gloom this costing a lot of money which created lots of controversy.
Baranowski to save Pogoria from sold deviced the voyage to Antarctica - transporting the people and equipment to the Polish Antarctic Station Henry Arctowski on the King George Island. This voyage didn't have any economic sense (too small loading area), but main goal - keep ship up under Polish flag - was done. It sailed 21 thousand miles, sail across Drake's Passage and was nearly to circumnavigated the Horn. The highest south latitude of Pogoria was 62 degrees and 10 minutes.
In school year 1983/1984 the School Under Sails had place on Pogoria. During 9 months on deck youths had one year of learning and sailed from Poland to India and back around the South Africa.
Since 1995 Pogoria has started in every Cutty Sark Regatta. Now Pogoria often has one or two weeks voyages for all. You can sing up on voyage on Pogoria's webside.

Polish sailing ships: Generał Zaruski

It got its name from Generał Zaruski the Originator of built fleet of 10 ships for Polish Scouting and Guiding Association. It was built in Sweden in 1939, as first of those ten ships but WWII cut off that plan. So we have only one sailing ship of that type. It went to Poland after the War and it got the name Generał Zaruski. That ship changed name 3 times -other names were: Młoda Gwardia (Young Guards) and Mariusz Zaruski. In 1977 Generał Zaruski walked into shoal near Copenhagen and needed repair, which was in years 1978 - 1982. In 2003 it lost PRS class, what means it can't be used. In 2008 Generał Zaruski was out of commission and  municipality Danzig (Gdańsk) intrested ship. The people back the idea of buying it and Generał Zaruski became Danzig representative sailing ship. Now it sails with groups youths on Baltic Sea.

Polish sailing ships: Zawisza Czarny II

Zawisza Czarny - Polish knight from XIV - XV Century who was famous in the War Kingdom of Poland (and Lithuania) with Teutonic Order, another reason was his truthfulness. 
First ship the Zawisza Czarny was bought in 1934 Russian sailing ship Petre. During World War II it was appropriated by Hitlerites and stayed near Flensburg. On it was the Kriegsmarines for training. After the War it was in too bad repare that renowation wasn't economic, so Zawisza Czarny went to endless watch (in Polish "wieczna wachta").
Zawisza Czarny II is conversed fish cutter Cietrzew. Cutters type like Cietrzew was built for fishing on Baltic Sea, later also on North Sea. But because of gross mistakes those cutters weren't safe, so some of them conversed to another type of ship, the rest was sold for scrap.
Zawisza (the first and the second) belong to Polish Scouting and Guiding Association. 2nd ship has been sailing since 1961. It became famous due to the bravery lifesaving action on Atlantic near to Bermuda - it helped to the crew of Marques (which sank because of squall - extra strong unexpected wind). The weather was terrible - strong wind and high sea state restricted action. The crew of Zawisza Czarny proved their courage, mettle - they rescued people who were in water and stayed on place of disaster to search for any shipwreck survivors. When it came to Bermuda Islands it was greeted as a hero, the crew got reward "Fair Play" from the Olympic Committee.

tonnage: 166 t

depth: 4,6 m

After school trip I was really tired. At night, from Thursday to Friday I slept two hours. We had a lot of fun at night. Everyone slept in bus. I think this trip was really successful, despite the fact, she was really short. That was only three days!
