Anyone going to be headed to Stavanger BASE Klubb on June 21, 2014 by chance? I bought my airline tickets but messed up the dates and times as far as lining it up with the ferry schedule. Turns out the insurance I paid extra for only refunds the ticket if I die, or at least it seems with all the BS they throw at you. I land at SVG at 0930 on Saturday the 21st. Hoping to find someone driving to SBK. Obviously would help pay for gas and probably a bottle of booze. Worst case I guess I'll have to take the Sunday ferry. Thanks in advance for any advice regarding my predicament.

You can probably catch a bus (or taxi, but that's pricey) and get ahead of the ferry. I know some guys who did that one year in a similar situation, and were able to get on the ferry further down the line.

Thanks for the quick response Tom. I will have to look into that as an option. The problem is that it seems like the ferry does not run on Saturdays, at least that is my understanding of the schedules.

Here is what I send my students when they come over..

Hope this helps mate

Good luck and jump safe



Remember to be here the day before to walk landing area and pay registration














Check out the ferry boat times to co-ordinate them with your flight times to ensure you will be at the Base Klubb the day before your FJC for registration and course material. Do not purchase expensive airline tickets that get you into Stavanger later and then missing the ferry boats into the fjord.

There is a city map of Stavanger attached to this email as well as helpful links below. When you get to the Sola Airport catch a bus or taxi to downtown Stavanger. Dock # 13 located next to Fiskepirterminalen Building, where the slow and fast ferry leave from in Stavanger, the street address there is 14 Verksgata street. Verify with ferry web links below as 2011 may have some slow ferry departures leaving from Lauvik and a bus is needed to get from Stavanger to Lauvik.
