And worse -- what if he is the same one you all encountered in your last D R I V E.

Thinking about how our drives play out, this is a definite possibilty.
but, if its the same guy from kuttikanam, we shouldnt have a problem, because we left them enough alcohol to keep them happy for a day or 2.

The problem we're facing- is that houseboats with legal capacity in excess of 12-14 are few. We could find purpose built cruise boats with more capacity, but they wont be "houseboats"

or we could swalpa adjust maadi on a boat for 14, and hope we dont get raided(Yeah Right!)

@ram hyundai- if you can find a houseboat with legal capacity of 30- that would be greatly appreciated. ASHVIN is on the look out already.
My phone calls have been unsucessful so far.

kphilip · 21st November 2008, 19:46

hey, missed this thread.. So what have we confirmed about the boat?Lemme ask someone here.. i guess one of my friend owns one..

srijit · 21st November 2008, 20:07

How bout two boats?

EDIT: Oh right. KPS might charge us for drag racing between the boats

johnda · 21st November 2008, 20:13

guys when the plans are fixed make sure you pass the itinerary to me, cause I'm not going to be there on the boat. And this is the only way I'll know where you are and meet you when you reach!

don't want to be waiting in the wrong jetty in a Jaatty

govigov · 21st November 2008, 21:11

How about a lake side resort with a couple of speed boats a few can hop into instead of the house boat?

I guess its a bit late for that, but Punnamuda was a good choice for that. the idea of being away is still not attained with the resort thingy... being in a boat is different right?

greenhorn · 21st November 2008, 22:58

i read about a double decker houseboat which could hold 60 here

sujithnk · 21st November 2008, 23:55

A bigger size boat having 30 people capacity is available and he is awaiting confirmations from all of us to book the same.

PUTHUSSERY HOUSE BOAT
Charges - Rs.12,000/- incl lunch(fish curry meal), tea and snacks.
Cruise timings will be 12 noon to 6pm.

Seems a steal deal if we can manage 30 people onboard! Rush your confirmations by posts/PM's/SMS's.

cheers:

Me+2 confirmed!! It is likely to become Me+3 also!
