A couple navigated a small sailboat through European inland waterways from November 2019 to mid-2020, traveling from the Mediterranean to the Netherlands.0:13 The journey spanned four distinct phases: ascending the Rhone and Saône rivers in winter, enduring a three-month COVID-19 lockdown in Châlons-sur-Saône, transiting the Rhine-Rhône Canal, and navigating the Rhine River.2:28 Winter travel on the Rhone involved strong currents, short daylight hours, and limited harbor access, requiring careful timing to avoid thick fog.5:11 During the lockdown, the crew performed boat maintenance and insulation projects while relying on a dockside community for social interaction.10:14 The Rhine-Rhône Canal offered scenic, small-scale navigation through towns like Dole and Besançon.15:39 The final leg on the Rhine presented significant challenges due to heavy commercial traffic and strong currents, which the crew found daunting for their underpowered vessel.19:20 The experience highlighted the necessity of balancing adventure with practical problem-solving, such as managing diesel heater usage and adapting to changing canal access due to fluctuating water levels.
