slasher Posted September 22, 2016 Author Posted September 22, 2016 FINAL CONFIRMED DETAILS FOR THIS TRIP ARE AS FOLLOWS. DEPARTURE Departure is at 12 noon. All passengers should gather at the Landing Stage Marina Wien, 1020 Wien, Handelskai 343 45 minutes beforehand i.e. 11:15 am. Our sail time including sluicing will be 3 h 30 approximately, giving us an eta in Bratislava of around 3:30 pm local time. ON BOARD Can I ask all those attending to bring as many flags/banners etc, so we can get the boat decked out top to bottom in Scotland colours. There will be a bar onboard selling beer ( Stiegl €3:50/0.5l), wine (€12.50/17.50 btl) and a limited range of spirits and liqueurs. The captain has also permitted us to bring on board our own alcohol should you prefer, but please no 'T' in the park style trolley loads lol. They have offered me catering, but given that they understandably wanted an itemised order from me, I have declined. I suggest everyone has a hearty breakfast and/or brings along some sandwiches for the trip. Please also come prepared in the event of the weather being poor, some waterproof clothing especially if you like a cigarette as there will be no smoking in the indoor lounge. For those of you wishing to broadcast on Facebook/Periscope or whatever the boat is equipped with wifi. There is also an idock for tunes and a playlist is being organised. Please remember a landing charge of €5:50 is payable per person and will be collected by boat crew at some point during our sail. SUNDAY NIGHT IN VIENNA A few of us will be in the 1516 Brewing Co pub in Vienna on the Sunday night. If would like to meet some of your fellow cruisers come along. If it's possible to add any more numbers I will also do so then. CANCELLATIONS Any cancellations beyond this point are non refundable. In the event of cancellation by the operator due to an extreme weather event or mechanical failure we will be due a refund, although it would obviously take a little time to organise. Thats about all I can muster for now, looking forward to meeting everyone in just a couple of weeks time. Here's hoping the team give us a good send off with a win over Lithuania! We'll be sailing! Regards, Captain Slasher. ?

Regards, Captain Slasher. ? Absolutely superb, Cap'n. Thank you very much for organising this. Lady Flure and I hope to get along to the 1516 Brewing Club on the Sunday night. Failing that, we'll meet you on the quayside, Sailor.
GHfaeGTA Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Ditto. The GTA 8 will see you there if we can't make that pub the previous evening
captain Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Great work mate, will hopefully make it to the pub the night before. Boat departs close to Ernst Hapel Stadion, time for a quick reminisce about Walter Kidd's finest ever moment in a Hearts top!

neilypiece Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Looking forward to this trip - see you guys in the pub on Sunday night for a wee swally! Anyone else on the boat staying in the Lidner???
Brassrubber Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Remember this is the ideal opportunity for people to join the boat shoe TA - smart casual comfy shoes with no need for big itchy socks - look good - feel good.
slasher Posted September 30, 2016 Author Posted September 30, 2016 I can confirm that neither the 'fashion police' nor the 'thought police' will be on board ?
slasher Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 I have pm'd all party leaders a contact no you can reach me on in Vienna ?
Amy Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 Looking for 3 spaces on the boat if at all possible? Will come along to the pub on Sunday night and hope more room becomes available!!
slasher Posted October 8, 2016 Author Posted October 8, 2016 Looks like the weather is going to be a mixed bag, so come prepared! Safe travels everyone. Regards, Capt Slasher ?
slasher Posted October 9, 2016 Author Posted October 9, 2016 I'm upstairs in 1516 brewing co if anyone is looking for me lads ?
doonhameronthedon Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks big man. Bit chilly on the top deck. Best Monday ever. Still an hour to go too Bratislava:) viva Scotland.
malky24 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks for organising this, we had a great day
Flure Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 Great outing, supremely well organised by the guy from The Village People. "He's the Captain of our ship…"
captain Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Terrific idea this, really enjoyed it, huge thanks to Captain Slasher! Met some great people and was good to arrive in Bratislava in style, a highlight of a great trip (game aside!)
slasher Posted October 13, 2016 Author Posted October 13, 2016 Thanks lads! I'm glad everyone enjoyed it. It was a pleasant afternoon spent in the best of company. After a few sleepless nights over the exchange rate I managed to make it through in the black as well. There'll be a donation winging its way to the Sunshine Appeal on everyone's behalf once I get the Euros changed back into pounds. Special thanks to the pirate crew who really helped make my day. (gutted the seagull never survived the trip though) I have e:mailed the charter company to thank them and have asked them to send me the photos they took. If anyone would like a copy pm me your e:mail address and I'll forward them to you. I am considering another 'venture' in London next month but some of the prices I've come across are eye watering so far. If I do manage to pull it off keep an eye out for a new boat thread in the England v Scotland section. Regards, Captain Slasher. ?
stocky Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Thanx for everything Captain, oor wee group had a ball, a tremendous time... Stocky AKA the Homeless Freezin 2 scarf and blankets Guy.....

Fugitive Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 The boat trip was the highlight of our travels Captain Slasher - despite us being sat beside the Guernsey TA ;-) Well done and hope to see you all again !
