Hive Fest Split 2024 - Boat Ride
Hive Fest should have been over, but there was one good thing of the bad weather. We got a bonus day.
If you missed any of the previous post you can click on the image and check that out:

Bonus day is cool, but a lot of the people had the problem with the schedule. For me it was just moving out of the apartment in the morning and finding a parking place for the car. For some it was impossible to organize as they had flights in the morning. Some had to go to the airport right after the boat ride so they took all their things with them to the boat.
The joke was that maybe it is good that not all developers can go on the boat ride. It is not that smart putting all the devs on a boat with not so great weather :)
The weather was not so great, but everyone was determined that the boat ride will happen :) The wind and the cold (and lack of sleep after the "closing drinks") did affect the mood a bit. But everything changed the moment we stopped at Uvala Jelinak veli. Not sure how this looks in the middle of the season, but now it was a really nice private beach for Hive Fest.
Even the weather got better. The wind stopped and it was much warmer. Jarvie was taking some cool shots, i was late to piggyback on it :)
Some of the people came ready, and with no hesitation. I hardly managed to get to the beach and they were already in the water.
Water was still warm but the tricky part was getting out of it :) A part of me probably died as i spent 8 days by the Adriatic sea (spoiler alert, weather was bad till the end of the trip) and didn't go for a swim in it.
Those not ready to take a swim enjoyed the view and the nice weather we surprisingly got.
This photo has some subtle evidence of when Kesilgonzalez left the Closing Drinks party :)
Is i was making the cover photo for this post, i noticed that i like how this looks. I did try it in just black and white but it did not work. The boat looks nice in this photoshop sketch graphic pen filter. And people walking adds to the feeling.
The original photo is kinda meh :)

So everyone went for lunch prepared on the boat. After that in the original plan there was some more cruising. But we had to come back earlier because some people had flights 7-8PM.
We had an hour or so to explore the island a bit. Some took it serious :) or not so.

I do like taking pictures of people taking pictures. Maybe because there is a bit of a posing but also candid in them.
I tried the black and white edit on some of the photos. So here is a batch of B&W
The ride back was not that cold and windy. At least on the lover deck.
Camera people always aware of the camera :)
At the way back we had some lovely chats, some of them were about good and bad series and movies in the last 10 years. There were several movies mentioned were i was thinking i need to remember those, of course i forgot all of them :)
Thinking about it, it is a bit funny that people from 3 different continents of the world watched and enjoyed the same shows. That would probably not happen 20-30 years ago. But again i would probably never met any of you people 20-30 years ago. Internet and social networks. Used for good :)
Most of these photos i took in the last 15-20 minutes of the trip as my camera was in the bag enjoying the conversations. It would probably stay in the bag but i saw a dolphin jumping out of the water close to the boat. No proof of the dolphin as he said So long and thanks for all the fish and was gone before i got my camera out. Misslasvegas criticized me for not mentioning the dolphin, i did but she was busy making fun of Rick Grimes or something like that.
Added this photo for my friend living on a boat in Vancuver, as we were talking about it while i was uploading photos :)

I think there was some football talk here, not sure are they fans of Barcelona :)
The boat ride finished, and with it, the Hive Fest officially finished. As we were awkwardly standing on a dock some waiting to say goodbye, some who were staying for few more days organizing after hivefest diner, the talks about next HiveFest started. There were some jokes about A Cruise Ship HiveFest, probably influenced by the boat ride we just had. Not sure where will it happen but i know for sure i will do everything in my power to be part of it.
Me, i said my goodbyes and started walking to the parking lot where i left my car. Still not sure were will i go next as i didn't book anything. But about that in some of the next posts.
And again, if all this photos were not enough for you, if you didn't see yourself here or you didn't like how you look on photos, there is a small chance that can be fixed by CLICKING ON THIS GDRIVE LINK WHERE ALL THE PHOTOS FROM HIVE FEST SPLIT - BOAT RIDE ARE LOCATED
I don't feel that i need to say this so i often forget. If you think for some weird reason that some of the photos are great feel free to use it. And there are google drive links with more photos from every day, so feel free to download what you want. Credit is appreciated.
That thought was on my mind, and the next day I took a dip before leaving hahahaha.
Sooooooo fun!
Day after the fest i was in Nin and all dressed up and ready to go to a beach, went out to the car to take a towel and in those few minutes my body was nah it is too cold for this 😂 so i changed and went for lunch :)
and i do love salt water.
Oh thanks man, of all the images where I'm 'half in it' or people seem to intently listen to what I have to say (and I'm not in it, other than one arm) the ONE picture with me full on is one where Quinten looks all cute, while I look like an absolute moron. I love you too! 😔
But other than that, amazing pictures. That face on Raf though haha. I love it!
Anyway, the Rick Grimes thing was warranted. One of my least favorite characters haha.
I loved that convo we had about series and movies watched. Although this should not be something people do on a regular basis (rather than be outside in nature), I think that particular part brought people closer together. Funny to see others think the same way and have similar opinions about it.
To be honest i was thinking the same thing while editing the photos 😂
Photographing a lot of people singing i learned that people usually don't look great while singing or talking.
Oh, and the cruise idea was me. Not inspired by the boat trip. I mentioned it before that. And yeah, it was a joke. Somehow people took it and ran with it. But Colombia like Matt said is a good idea in my opinion. And a little closer to home for me, which would help...
It does sound interesting, but as Gandalf mentioned in telegram, there are some problems with it.
No idea how to feel about Colombia, most of what i know about it is from movies 😂
Don't believe the movies. It once was like that, but it's so much different now. Sure, it's still not like Europe, but it's much safer than it was. They think the same about Mexico, but it's safe in most places. Others not so much. Even Mexicans won't go there LOL.
I tend to follow the locals' advice. If a Mexican doesn't go there, I won't either...
But wherever we went here, I've never felt unsafe, which is more than I can say about some places in the US and the Netherlands even. Using common sense is important everywhere you go...
i also noticed that knowing the local language helps. I heard a lot of complaints in Split about the hospitality, but i never noticed anyone being unpleasant. Another example, i saw a store in Nin with 2.5 rating on google. I was wondering why would a general score have such a bad score, most complaints were about how unpleasant the workers were. i had a great chat for 5 minutes with the lady :D
Well if there is someone to organize it there. who knows maybe it would be fun :) Hope i don't need visa for Colombia 😂
Yes, speaking the language absolutely helps. I have a friend here who doesn't even try to speak Spanish. To be honest, a lot of Americans and Canadians have that in common. They'll just start speaking in English demanding the locals understand...I usually ask them if they speak English, but I try to get by in Spanish as much as I can (which isn't a lot to be honest). But yeah, for Colombia, basic knowledge would be necessary. As far as I know, no one needs visa for Colombia haha. It would be ideal for the Venezuelan Hiveans, as well as Cubans.
Yeah, I looked through my photos to find one of you in a similar way, and I didn't even find any of you! So you're forgiven hahaha. Will have to get you with crazy faces next time... ;)
that would for sure not be that hard you just need to click in a general direction few times 🤣
Next time I'll be sure to do a whole photo shoot just of you hahaha.
😁
The black and white ones fit the weather as I understand. Damn I would agve loved to be there, because boating and beers...that is what we are good at right :D
Hopefully next time! Or a random moment in croatia, maybe I will sail by next year
i must say i did miss some of the Netherlands representation. Was hopping to see some of you here :)
Yeahhhh it looked like it for a while. The netherlands slacked this time!
The netherlands gets - points this year.
your commenting along the entire article is like a separate form of art, especially witty is that you don't need to take all developers on a boat with bad weather👉🏻😉 and also my favorite: photographer taking pictures of a photographer that taking pictures of a photographer is top of the list 😍
how to check if he photographer - he always sees the camera - 💯. it turns out that I'm not a photographer, but I considered myself 🤦🏻♀️
and of course Benjamin and I are just Hollywood stars, the first time I liked myself on camera 😍🤩
i like the photographer photographer photographer photo, it is fun but also looks pretty good :)
that is probably i thing of people that film people/events. you kinda always scan if anything interesting is going on. so you notice cameras :)
I write a article about hive for a German magazine and love to use a picture from you. Maybe the one from day one with all the people aka group photo. Is there a version you like most for being printed in 300dpi
@bil.prag if so please advice

I’m glad that everyone enjoyed the boat ride
I love all the pictures
They are very beautiful!
I think that this time 'Hive fest' is increasing the excitement day by day, it's introducing the most amazing and stunning activities to participate and enjoy within. This boat ride event seems to be really very adventurous, exciting as well as stunning. Hope everyone enjoyed it well..!!
