This site was created to keep our family and friends updated on our travels through the European waterways. Our boating life started in 2012 when we hired a cruiser on the Canal du Midi to trial the lifestyle. Well, we loved it, so we scoured the Dutch and French boatyards till we found our perfect home away from home, a Dutch cruiser, we renamed “Freshwater”. Then at the beginning of 2021, when Covid 19 made it impossible for us to return to Europe, we sold the Freshwater to a nice young couple. A year later, we were lucky to find our second dream cruiser called “Lodi”, named after the small town where Napoleon’s first Italian campaign earned him the title “The Little Corporal”.

Our blog following has grown since then, from friends we've met along the way that share our love of cruising, to newbies interested in starting their own cruising adventures. Anyway, we hope you enjoy reading about our cruising, as much as we enjoy this life.
