The most UNDERRATED trip we ever did! French Canals| Patreon Q&A | Part 1
Channel: Sailing Ruby Rose
Date: 2020-01-23

How to do the French Canals by sailboat?! Before we journeyed from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic side of France by sailboat, we had a LOT of questions. Plenty of boaters choose to unstep their mast and transit the Canal de Garonne and Canal du Midi, but there weren't many videos on YouTube giving us the practical advice and information we were seeking. So, we hope to address that with today's Q&A, brought to you by our lovely Patrons! Hope you enjoy this episode!
Cheers, 
Nick & Terysa

⛵ About Us: This is us, an Aussie girl and a British guy and for some reason, we’ve become completely obsessed with the idea of sailing around the world and sharing our experiences and information through our sailing lifestyle videos with others. 

We met travelling around India, and quickly agreed that rather than “settling down” and doing what most normal people do, we wanted to travel and adventure instead and started our sailing lifestyle adventure stories, since then, we’ve been working hard towards achieving our dreams, and now we’re finally living them as sailing cruising lifestyle!
