Re: Van Morrison
Hi Minx. I only sail on other peoples boats now. I had my own gaff cutter in the 60s. We lived onboard for 20 years ( not a sailing boat)
I often crewed Thames Barges: look them up, I think you'll like them.
I've sailed across to Holland, France, Belgium many times.
We spent a year taking our own boat ( our home) through the French canals and rivers through to the Mediterranean.
