New to cruising canals,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The European Waterways: A User's Guide (Paperback)
I am due to retire soon and am fascinated with the idea of travelling on the European canals at a snail's pace. This book gave a great kick off as to the sorts of details I have to look into before making my dream a reality. It is full of plain good sense without any commercial tinsel by someone who seems to have been there.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The European Waterways: A User's Guide (Paperback)
If you need to know the proper signals and lock procedures and tie-up protocol, this is the book for you. Not for me. I just want to sit and watch the country pass.
