Absolutely…either side of the season is best…this summer has been hot and humid…we even drove up north for some relief. Also you miss the crowds and the madness on the water.,,plus restaurants are still open but the ports reduce the tariff from the summer peak. So loads of reasons really
However, I am an all year boater…and even though I rarely go far…we have had some great winter boating in past years

Do you have a big sign on your boat saying 'tourists go home'?

I am not anti tourist (I was a tourist myself last week)…they are vital for the local economy…no one wants to live in a dying town…I also believe that everyone has to right to go on holiday and enjoy it…and this is a great place to enjoy yourself. It’s just that I occasionally enjoy some peace and quiet…and it is lovely not to be fighting over a place to anchor

Still moored up at Volkerak but one step closer to being able to sail, the boat has been revived from the Dutch registry and the the Belgian site says our registration is ready to print

We are looking to buy down here but intend to use our 90 days either side of the v hot summer months, back to uk for those. Hopefully the plan is to have an extra long mid 20 period.. ok retirement helps but

It makes sense…the roads aren’t jammed…airline tickets are cheaper…hotel rooms are available

We are aiming to be at the mouth of the Rhône by the end April and spend 4-6 weeks in the area the either park it for a while to miss the worst of the heat and mosquitoes or start making our way back up the Canal du Midi where it will be a little cooler if rather crowded.

The Camargue is one of our favourite places…we nearly bought a house on the Canal du Midi…and we’ve had a few adventures on it….the only problem with the Rhone valley (and I just drove up it last week) is the bloody wind
