Boating!

Post by DrDiesel »

hi peeps 420 is approaching and were all booked up only prob is after 9 trips to dam I still aint done a canal boat and im coming with a couple of Virgins so really wanna do it this time. i been looking and it seems there only a couple of decent priced boats for 6 people, and they are prob ok but dont mind paying bit extra for bit more space/roof. any ideas would be amazing guys. :idea: we would prefer to supply our own stuff too like food/beer/music.

Peace Dr D

yes mate i have been keeping an eye on it and it got me thinking about boats and with us going home late on 20th i cant make it with the crew which i am bitterly dissapointed about as i havent actually met any ACD'ers ! i have looked at boaty's and also rentaboat and they seem best priced for what im after but wanted to know if anyone has a 'hiddengem' or a buddy that is resident. I would ask HB but seems all of his are in use!!!

You could try asking HB if he could make his available the next day after our boat trip or something?.

i have been thinking about that option too, jus thought it may be a bit cheeky seeing as he is doing the gathering a favour already. does anyone know if you can smoke on the skippered boats? i can see some major wind problems if rolling on a boaty! :shock:

Hi DrDiesel, I figured to roll up a few before boarding the Boaty boats... :shock: :lol: If the weather is nice though, I think you would have a blast in those boats. They are not overly expensive either. Shame you leave town before the 420 trip.
See you there.
If I don't see you no more in this world, I'll meet you on the next one.

Hi Trad, im hoping for good weather as a boaty would be perfect for a few hours cruising the canal's, they look good fun and the roll a few option is 100% if we do get one.

It is indeed a shame im leaving before this momentus occassion and the Hestia Cup :( :( but never the less i shall enjoy meeting you and a whole loada others throughout my stay, and also at the Vapo party on night we leave, lucky we got 9.50 flights back, gives us a few hours of Nes :!: 8)

Boating is the leisurely activity of travelling by boat, or the recreational use of a boat whether powerboats, sailboats, or man-powered vessels (such as rowing and paddle boats), focused on the travel itself, as well as sports activities, such as fishing or water skiing. It is a popular activity, and there are millions of boaters worldwide..

WTF are you on about? You have posted several useless comments on the forum as of late.
