The challenges and pleasures of inland waterways cruising, Julian and Vanessa Dussek

Floods, droughts, large barges, weed, locks, hundreds of them big and small, canal closures all at times present challenges. Cruisers need to be on the qui vive constantly. These challenges fade when compared with the pleasures of exploring the vast wealth of inland Europe, the culture, the history, magnificent buildings and of course the culinary delights.

Julian and Vanessa started cruising inland Europe in 2006 in a Southerly sailing boat ‘Pluto’ and sixteen years later are still exploring the delights of the inland waterways of Europe in her.

Please note: lectures can be watched live online but we do not generally make recordings available after the event, for a number of reasons relating to time and copyright issues.
