I got the privilege of riding on the first boat trip and being on Highly Blessed's boat with Trad, FtCarer and Colina. It was one of the best memories I will ever have of Amsterdam, one of the best times of my life! On such a beautiful day too!

Hell yeah, a fuckin great trip, what I can recall. If hb does this as a second business he really aught to sort out propeer loading the passangers onto the board procudures as climbing over 1 to get to yours aint to good when you have spent 3 days solid smoking and your head has been spinning. Saying that I'd certrainly suggest pointing any future boat trippers to HB's direction as the trip was so much fun.

Overall the trip was so, so much better than I'd have expected it to be and the smoking on board and chilling out sat in the boat at a lower level than the waterline was an experience.

The boat trip was great and the "danger" made it much more memorable. If anyone got hurt I take that back :lol: The accident under the bridge certainly sounded violent but I was focused on holding on to the rope...

I'm gonna put up a few photos in my travelogue in a couple of days.

There is a two hour minimum on all the rentals on that site. That would be about the same cost if we get the full twenty.
I agree whole heartedly about the toilet becoming an issue over 2 hours.
Another thing to consider is the fact that it is an open boat, if the weather is bad it could be a nasty trip....freezing cold or rain drizzling down AND needing a piss.... :shock: :shock: :shock: 8) Don't think we would have a large turnout in that case...I wouldn't be going that's for sure.... :lol: :lol:
It is still in the low50 degrees F with a good breeze “chilly!” weekend of the 31st &1st and it look like it will not change soon I expect it to still be cool up there on my return 16th before my return home on the 18th.I came over from NC & it was in the a nice 70’s F and I get over there it was in the low 50 F with a heavy cool breeze. I started my search to buy a winter jacket. But I will omit I get cold easily :shock: :roll:
