Disaster almost struck in February on the Danube when storms and choppy waters sank one of his boats in 50ft of water: local divers helped him raise the vessel.

His return leg from the Black Sea port of Constanta was helped by two Romanian vessels which towed him back north against the swift current of the Danube to slower waters near Frankfurt.

Oh aye......but he did though. Though I expect you think he is stark staring mad?

What about the other one?

Still in my book, no madder than shoving £10'000 in the tank on a flash mobo..............That is really mad, especially as the wind is free! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Terry & Monica Darlington & the whippet are local heroes in Stone near where I live. The book is brilliant & there were several episodes of "Waterworld" that featured them. They have just done another book where they took the boat across the pond (by ship) and did the USA intra-coastal. Well worth a read even if you don't like boats.

Agreed, but I don't think they were the first to cross the channel in a Narrowboat (as claimed in the linked article). I think that was Chris Coburn in NB Progress as part of his waterways campaign.
 
I'm not unfamiliar with canal boats.
