Across Europe in a Motor Boat sweeps you along a daring river-and-sea itinerary that tests courage, ingenuity, and friendship.This real-life ocean-to-continent adventure follows the building and voyage of a small, light-draught motor boat named the Beaver as its crew circles nearly seven thousand miles across Europe. From London to the Black Sea and back, the narrative blends technical planning, nautical problem‑solving, and a front-seat look at the people and places encountered along the way.A careful plan to navigate the Seine, Rhine, Main, Danube, and beyond, with the aim of courting the sea to the Mediterranean.The process of designing and building a suitable vessel when money is tight and time is short.Close calls with hidden shoals, turbulent currents, ferries, and wrecks, told with steady humor and practical know‑how.Vivid scenes of river towns, ports, and the lives of sailors, ferrymen, and engineers encountered on the journey.Ideal for readers who enjoy brisk travel memoirs, nautical adventure, and tales of problem‑solving under pressure.
