Shipspottingtrips 2011

[stevo]

Hey all,

Working on 2 trips for 2011 (july - september)

- Flushing Approach.
Take a boat from Terneuzen to Flushing and then we drop anchor at Flushing. Then we can see all ships going to Flushing, Terneuzen, Ghent and Antwerp. As background we have te sea.

max 50 persons (25 euro/day)

- Rotterdam Europoort
We take boat and sail in Rotterdam Europoort

max 12 persons (36 euro / 3 hrs)


Let me know in this topic if you are interested.
If I can find enough persons, I continue my preparations.

Hi Steven,

Surely interested!
At least for the Flushing Roads trip in July, but for both trips I need to say that it depends on how soon I know the exact date, because of my personall circumstances I need an extra long time for planning such a trip.
But great initiative, and last trip to Anwerp a great succes to my opinion!

Hey Stan,

Hope I have date next week.

In july 2011 we sail again. We sail from Terneuzen to Flushing Approach, where we will drop anchors alongside the busy river.

All ships to and from ports such as Flushing, Terneuzen, Ghent and Antwerp will pass us by within a few meters and also the deep-sea and the river pilots changeover will be observed close-by. Hopefully, we will be able to enjoy a pleasant day with a lot of vessel activity.

People, not that keen on vesselspotting are also welcome for this excursion. Enjoying a glass in the sun, good conversation on board of casting a line, in an attempt to catch a wonderful evening meal.

Were these kind of trips made in past? Any photos?

We only had the tall ship weekend.

These events started after shipspotting cancelled the 2009 summit in Rotterdam.

Hi Stevo,
These trips sounds very interesting to us. We saw pictures from the last one.
We would be very interested in both of them depending how you plan the dates.
Best not to close to each other because we have to come up from Bavaria. If they are not too close we could do two Shipspotting trips for some days out of it.
We would be two person, my husband and me!

Hi Stevo,

I ask some locals from Rotterdam.
I think 5 spotters including me will come to Terneuzen for that trip
Can you confirm some dates ??

Regards,

Dave

I am also interested but, like Derek, I'd like to know the date well in advance.

Hi Steve,

A three hour trip in the Rotterdam harbour, isn't that a bit short?

[Andrew McAlpine]

Stevo,

also interested as we talked about, but dates would be good when known to sort holidays etc out.

Flushing approach sounds good. July i just might be back from summer holiday.
So a date would be nice...

Hey all,

next week I will know if my selected date is ok for the Flushing Roads trip.
We can go with 50 on the boat and I have already 12 persons who likes to join.


I also found a boat to go (trom trom trom trom) the WANDELAAR ANCHORAGE.



Who likes to do a harbourtrip in Rotterdam and what do you want to see?
1) the old Rotterdam with all the ships
2) Maasvlakte with only the biggies

[Galadriel]

Hello Stevo,
Thanks for preparing.... Very Kind that you put effort and Time into it.
We would be interested in both. Old Rotterdam and Maasflakte. But with only three hours this will be not possible , I think.
Are we restricted in  only  three hours???
We hope the date will be fitting in with us and look forward to the trips.
Kind regards from Bavaria

Hi Stevo,
 a superb idea.
tall ship event was a very good day and trip.
If the date is o.k. for me I will join both.
I think for Rotterdam we need at least 1/2 a day!!!
