Walvis is the Dutch word for Whale, and the name of this 23 meter river cruising craft.
After 30 grueling hours of slap-happy transit and travel, Gillian and I finally arrived in France! The owner of this barge is Mike Young, my friend Gillian's friend and mentor on International water allocation issues. Gillian and I are traveling together and she will be conducting an interview with Mike as part of her PhD, so we were invited to stay on-board for a few nights and sail westward on the Marne from Meaux to Paris (about 45 river km) on the extensive French river, lock and canel system.
C'est vraiment un beau bateau.
