We are family of three living on a boat and sailing thought the rivers and canals in Europe, mainly France, Belgium and Netherlands. But you can find here all of our travels.
Cold, wind, rain and humidity. Sometimes frosty mornings with frozen cords. These were our sailing conditions during the first two weeks of December. Of course we would prefer to sail during the warm, beautiful summer days, but this was the second year this canal was closed. We just wanted to go further north with our... Lire la Suite →
We were ready to continue our travels. My captain Mario came back from work. His sister came to navigate with us. We started the motor in the morning to sail more north through the Canal de la Marne. And just to be sure we called the authorities if everything is fine. But we've got the... Lire la Suite →
In Port sur Saône left our little help, the grandfather "papy", so downstream it's just the three of us. It was great to have extra help and company during this first stage of our sailing. On the way back to Gray we decided to stop in this small village, because we didn't want to navigate... Lire la Suite →

We moored at the quayside in Gray. There is electricity and water. Not far from center and a small park... Lire la Suite →
After two longer days of navigation we sailed not so far and not fast and decided to eat lunch in beautiful spot on the Saône. We dropped the anchors in the water and enjoyed calm and beautiful environment. Not long after that we arrived in Auxonne. We went for a quick walk to the city... Lire la Suite →
This post about St. Jean de Losne will be long as the things you can see or do in St. Jean de Losne. Short. To dock in center along the Saône is little bit more complicate than elsewhere, because you have to get on shore to pass the cord in the ring which is few... Lire la Suite →
Heading north to our first stop Chalon sur Saône took us 7 hours of navigation with an hour stop in city of Tournus for a lunch. So in total it is approximately 6 hours with one lock. We want to get fast to more interesting part la Petite Saône, because this way we already did... Lire la Suite →
