Peter, Margaret and our new dog Yeti the Tibetan Terrier.We are currently living on our canal boat, Vintage Cru in France . we have left our yacht Swara II in Langkawi Malaysia. We have lived on our yacht Swara II for 28 years, have sailed around the world, which took eleven years, including a couple of years in the French canals.
We have cruised the east coast of Australia for many years and left Australia in 2013. We spent six months sailing through Indonesia,sailed to Thailand and Malaysia.
Currently Swara II is planned to be on the hard in Malaysia for the next couple of years,whilst we cruise more of the European waterways in our ex charter canal boat Vintage Cru bought in June 2013. We brought our cat Amigo with us from Australia/Malaysia but he left a big hole in our hearts when he got very ill and had to be put to sleep.
Vintagecru is a Porter and Haylet Connoiseur 1135, circa 1980 but has been in private use for a few years.
In 2014 we to cruised the Canal du Nivernais , from Briennon , and arrived in Briare where we spent the wijnter via Rivers Yonne and Seine, Canal du Loing. Plans for 2015 include spending time in Paris and Cruising the Burgundy Canal and back to Briare for the winter .
