Product Information
Terry and Monica Darlington are intrepid pensioners who made the surprising decision to sail their canal narrowboat, 'Phyllis May' sixteen hundred miles across to France and down to the Mediterranean, accompanied only by their whippet Jim. They took advice from nautical experts, who told them they would lose their boat and their lives (and, indeed, their whippet Jim). Narrow Dog to Caracossonne is a true story of high adventure in France, England, Belgium, and out at sea, as experienced by two innocents and a reluctant dog. n board the 'Phyliss May' you share in a very different way of life. You go rabbiting in Oxfordshire, tie up among the bankers in the City of London, live among history in Flanders, drift through Champagne, throw a rope arounf the Eiffel Tower, struggle with hostile life forms in Burgundy, float down the Saone from vineyard to vineyard, get swept along the terrible Rhone from Lyon to Avignon, dip your toes in the Mediterranean, and sail across inland seas among the flamingos of the Camargue. reakdowns, floods, accidents, hangovers, vandals, dicks, trolls, aliens, gongoozlers, killer fish and the salking dead stand between our intrepid crew and their goal -Product Identifiers
