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 ...
This week we're stepping our mast after a month-long journey in the French Canals on our sailboat. It's time to put the mast upright and get Ruby Rose sailing again! But this isn't without its challenges, as we discover when it comes time to lift the mast off the deck.

We're back on the Canal du Mid on the French Canals- and this week we reached the summit! Traveling the french canals on a sailboat between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic isn't always easy, but life does get a bit more manageable this week with the introduction of automatic locks and a...
Boat life isn't always about sunshine and drinking cocktails, you know. What do we do when the weather's bad and we're living on a boat in the french canals? Well, we soldier on, of course! The Canal du Midi is just as beautiful in the rain as it is in the sun (we promise!) plus there...
