Opening of the Techno-Navigation Season on the Moskva River

Танцпол · 17.05.2002

By Анна Юрье

As it happened, the opening of the navigation season aboard the boat "Moskva-28" fell on almost the coldest day of May. On the 18th, having grabbed with them everything "warmer", a good half of all Moscow's party-goers gathered by 23:00 at the pier by the "Rossiya" hotel.
Thanks to strict face control, the capital's best DJs and, accordingly, the right music, the "Rynda" parties had already made a fine name for themselves three years ago. This time the public was treated by DJs Bell, Jungle and Sapunov.
The parties take place on a double-deck boat every Friday and Saturday, drawing large crowds of lovers of fresh air, views of nighttime Moscow and pleasant company. In case of seasickness - as a rule, the only reason for going ashore - you can evacuate at 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00 to the same pier by the "Kitay-Gorod" metro station. The route, to the boisterous reaction of the people on shore, usually repeats itself - from the centre of Moscow out to the near-centre outskirts. The opening of "Rynda", the fun and the loud music apparently captivated even members of the Capital Shipping Company, since one pleasure boat relentlessly followed the "Moskva-28" for several hours. The friendly and humane security, in the event of a violation, does not throw you overboard or drag you off to the police, though it does not indulge total licence either. If, for example, in a drunken frenzy you feel the spirit of captaincy rising within you and decide to look at Moscow from the height of the captain's bridge, you will most certainly be taken down from there at once and either put to bed, as was done on the 18th with one troublemaker, or helped to descend carefully down the gangway onto solid ground. The only unpleasant surprise this time was sprung by the bar, in which, apparently to counterbalance the drop in temperature, prices had noticeably risen. Allow me to hint that on the day of the next voyage, that is, 25 May, a significant rise in temperature is promised.
