Is She SAFE for WINTER ? Sailing French Canals and Rivers to Paris area.

Ep12: Safe winter moorings for nomad sailboats should be booked early. Did we know how far we'd sail ? No. Winterising the boat for the first time in a different country, in a big river, is daunting and worrying. As French Canal and River Water Gypsies we are sailing nomads without a permanent mooring and must leave Options in a secure and affordable place away from prying eyes and the wash of big barges. We had to be certain that on our return in spring she will still be there in one piece, on top of the water not under it! #sailing Links & acknowledgements: Conflans Sainte Honorine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflans-Sainte-Honorine Nouvelle Marina Port Saint Louis: https://www.nouvellemarinaportsaintlouis.fr/ Base de Loisir: http://valdeseine.iledeloisirs.fr/port-de-plaisance Port Ilon: https://port-ilon.com/en/ Saint Louis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_IX_of_France Ancient Poissy Bridge: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancien_pont_de_Poissy River Seine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seine VNF Main Site: https://www.vnf.fr/vnf/ VNF Route Planner: http://www.vnf.fr/calculitinerairefluvial/app/Main.html French Waterways Main Site: https://www.french-waterways.com/ French Waterways Routes: https://www.french-waterways.com/practicalities/canal-depths/ European Waterways, best 6 canals: https://www.europeanwaterways.com/blog/top-6-canals-cruise-france/ Dutch Barge Association: https://barges.org/9-uncategorised/347-wg-intro Fluviacap Route Planner: http://www.fluviacarte.com/en/fluviacap Navionics: https://www.navionics.com/gbr/navionics-plus-france-lakes-and-rivers-4.html
