New member introduction

[Kerik]

Greetings. Longtime boat guy here. Mostly Alaska. Some Caribbean, and most recently a brief time on some canals in burgundy. Which by the way i was mightily impressed.
Being a fellow of advanced years, the casual pace agreed with me. I'm planning another couple weeks this September in northeast France. Looking forward to learning on this excellent forum. Cheers

Hi, Kerik, welcome aboard CF.

Some years ago, we joined some friends of ours with a peniche and went through the Jura region in NE France. It was not only physically beautiful, but some of the wines were fantastic! We had a great time. Enjoy your trip later this year.

Welcome aboard CF Kerik.

I will be attempting to post some photos.

Kerik you were doing so well with your introduction then you showed a picture of your stink boat! Most of us are blow boaters.
I loved the canal boat, did you hire it for two weeks?
Cheers

Yes, i plead guilty to operating a diesel powered boat.
Yes, we hired the boat for a week...next time i plan on 2 weeks.
I was under the impression that this forum had a bit of a European canal component.
Anyone know of such a forum?

Ah c'mon, that's a beautiful boat!

I'm a sailor, but am also a firm believer if you are out on the water, you are at least doing some somethings right...

Welcome to the forum!

Gotta love the NW aluminum cruisers. Tough as nails, go like stink, comfy and warm. What’s not to like?!!

…I wish I had one out here on the East coast!

Welcome to the forum! All are welcome- you’ll find the odd off-putting conversation here- but c’mon- it’s an Internet forum! My experience has been very positive thus far- stink potters and raggies alike.

And- can’t agree more about the European canals. I see much more of them in my future as well. Fingers crossed…

If you click on "forums", upper left of screen, you can select https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f17/, which will give you Europe & the Mediterranean. Or, if you use the Custom Google Search, under the Search button, google "canal boating" and see what comes up.
