Hey all,

last time we had a special TallShipweekend price in a hotel.
If there are more people who need hotel, I can ask again for a special price.

Who want to go to the Wandelaar anchorage??

Grt Stevo

Hi Cornelia, if I can make this trip, I'm going to look for hostel accommodation or a cheap bed and breakfast.
I'll also need to beg a ride in a car.

Hello Galadriel,

In 3 hrs you see a lot of ships in the old harbour.
We can always make it a weekend Rotterdam. On saturdaymorning meeting at Maasvlakte, then we take a 3 hrs Maasvlakte sailtrip and on sunday we sail 3 hrs in the Old Rotterdam harbour.


For the Flushing Roads trip what will be available as from next week, you can book a nice hotel in Terneuzen and sail the saturday with us to Flushing Roads. On sunday you take nice pictures from ships who are sailing to Ghent, Terneuzen en Antwerp.

I have some English friends from other website who will stay for the weekend so you always have somebody to talk too. And I know a very good sparerib restaurant.

Grt Stevo

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
Galadriel

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

We only had the tall ship weekend.

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.

Hey Galadriel,

As from tomorrow I will be in holiday, so I will try to help you.
A good place in Antwerp harbour is at the Berendrechtlocks.

http://maps.google.be/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=nl&geocode=&q=berendrechtsluis&sll=50.805935,4.432983&sspn=5.172883,14.27124&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Berendrechtsluis&z=15

both sides of the lock have their charmes. Please note when an MSC is entering the lock 60% an MSC is leaving Antwerp.

Another good place (driving 15 km) is bath if you take the "Grensweg"

http://maps.google.be/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=nl&geocode=&q=bath&sll=51.377339,4.248587&sspn=0.004989,0.013937&ie=UTF8&hq=bath&hnear=&ll=51.390101,4.229221&spn=0.038563,0.111494&z=14

Walsoorden and Terneuzen are also ok. Best place of all is Terneuzen because then you see vessels passing by to Antwerp/Gent.
You can park your car their also.Search for the 'Nieuw Neuzenweg"

http://maps.google.be/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=nl&geocode=&q=terneuzen&sll=51.390101,4.229221&sspn=0.038563,0.111494&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Terneuzen,+Zeeland,+Nederland&ll=51.343112,3.804713&spn=0.004993,0.013937&z=17

Help and Advice / Re: More unauthorised use of pics

« on: September 05, 2010, 07:20:39 PM »

Hi All,

What about this.
If you search the name of a vessel in google, you can find some pictures from shipspotting.com

The iphone application Ship Finder is using these googledetails, so this means we can speak about image abuse.
