I am in the very early stages of planing for me and my
family, our plan was to start in the
Netherlands and
work our way down the Rhine and then to the
Med. I was hopping to draw on your wisdom in making this plan. I understand there is a decent
current on the Rhine and if I understand correctly it flows southern so starting in the
Netherlands would be the easiest is that correct? Anywhere else you would recommend?
I have read about all the locks in
Holland ect, how difficult are they really? We would be sailing a large 45 ft
catamaran any troubles you think we may have? Any
advice?
Lastly I know this may open a big can of worms but time frame, if we where taking our time, exploring along the way how much time would you plan on to go down the Rhine and then over to the
Med and time to explore
Italy,
Greece ect? Any help on seasons and when to be somewhere and when to be away?
Thanks in advance for your help and your willingness to share your experience.
