Switzerland may not be an obvious destination for cruising sailors, but Peter and Gill Pitcher were looking for new adventures. They have cruised extensively in a series of motorboats taking in many European inland waterways as well as trips from Bordeaux to Oslo and the Scillies to Great Yarmouth. Over four months from May last year they took their Broom 425, Seawolf, from Ketelhaven in Holland to Basel, visiting cities like Koln and Strasbourg and smaller picturesque old towns like Trier and Cocha, negotiating both large commercial locks and narrow, twisting stretches of river on the way. Peter and Gill can recommend the experience to anyone who has the time, and the story of their trip will give lots of useful tips and local knowledge to help plan a voyage of your own.
