Nautical week

Nautical week begins tonight. Another fantastic piece of planning by the Demos has the opening event on the lake at the same time as....

The final of the European Championship football competition (Spain v Germany)

I know which one I, (and most of the men in the town), will be watching.

And...

Can anyone explain to me what a demonstration of Tai Kwon Do, or a childrens production of Pinokio, or a Cretan night in Kritsa has to do with "Nautical Week"?
