The Downside |
Finding a parking space was a bit awkward. But only a little bit. |
The Upside |
Nice evening for a stroll to the quayside. Last couple of play items to be taken aboard, then the gathered masses were embarked. Without marooning anyone (that I saw) The Boat moved into the flow, the crew moved to their stations and pervs moved to the awaiting furniture. It was warm - almost too warm with the (designated) play area filled to capacity. Luckily we were moving fast enough to generate a breeze - the advantage of a mobile dungeon with portholes on a sultry summer night. Play still spilled above, much more so than last year I reckon.
From the rail you had a choice of views - the right bank, the left banke or the on-deck activities. Music wafted up from the open windows (portholes?), giving the upper deck a cool and quiet ambience, with undertones of activity from the heaving throng below.
Attentive maids took turns around the deck, with very welcome trays of cool fruits - just the thing on a hot evening. |
The Verdict |
The Boat triumphed again - music, play and travel in one neat package. |
The Future |
Hoping the weather holds for next year - a Firm fixture! Pictures from this event |
