Welcome to the forum. I envy you.

A few years ago I started a thread here about cruising the canals of Europe, well France mostly. I had a strong desire to buy a 10-12 meter canal boat and cruise throughout France and maybe Belgium and The Netherlands for the summer. Unfortunately I couldn't convince my wife.

It does seem to be a wonderful lifestyle: securely cruising along canals through gorgeous countrysides, tying up in cute villages, eating at local restaurants along the way, improving my rotten French, etc.

Is it really that nice or am I over romanticizing the lifestyle?

How is wintering? Do you use electric or diesel for heat? How do you get water down to your boat in the winter, or maybe it doesn't freeze where you are located?

Enjoy the life!! David
