Last summer we bought a 2002 Kuhnle Werft Kormoran 12.80 in Stasbourg and in this video Sara takes you on a little tour of our new floating cabin in France.

Perfect THANKS

[@SavvyNomadTV]

You're welcome! As the year progresses we will be in touch.

What a nice boat David & Sarah! Hope to travel together again!

[@SavvyNomadTV]

Thanks Jim. That would be great. 😃

So cool, I was looking at a boat that is for sale right now in the Citadelle Port, right across from you. Always wanted to own a houseboat and maybe I should do it as long as I am living in France, plus the canal system would be a joy to explore here.

[@SavvyNomadTV]

I highly encourage it. You should definitely watch my other boat buying videos before choosing you boat. There are lots of options and lots of pit falls. Cheers!

[@panamericaco]

@@SavvyNomadTV yep, I started watching them all already 😄

No gang plank ?! What will you do when you capture your enemies on the high seas?

[@SavvyNomadTV]

I guess they'll just have to step onto the bank!

Beautiful boat! Back when I was cruising in France in the 80's & 90's, the shower, toilet and sink outflow all went into the canal; is it still that way, or do you have holding tanks for the toilet? If so, how much is it to pump it out? All our boats in England always had tanks.

[@SavvyNomadTV]

Yep. It is still that way. Our boat does have a holding tank as it’s designed for Germany but it is disconnected here in France. The are very, very few pump outs.

Good reason not to fall in!@@SavvyNomadTV

[@stephsmith6421]

Excellent when can we leave??? Steph and Kathleen

[@SavvyNomadTV]

We've got you penciled in with Susan and Chase for April of 2024. How does that sound?

[@andreaandraschko6359]

Are you keeping this just for your private use or are you planning on doing guided trips with it?

[@SavvyNomadTV]

Good question! This will be our boat to guide trips ~ this is very exciting for us as we will be able to get to parts of France and greater Europe that are only available to private boaters.

[@andreaandraschko6359]

@@SavvyNomadTV so will you host guests on board, or serve as lead boat with people in other boats? Either way it sounds like great fun and the type of trip I would really enjoy ☺️

[@SavvyNomadTV]

@@andreaandraschko6359 We only have one boat and we take a small group Sara and I and up to 4 others. It's really quite nice. Here is what we are doing this year: savvynomad.com/2023-alsace-lorraine/ The schedule for 2024 hasn't yet been determined. If you want to be notified of when the trips become available send me an email: [e-mail] and or you could sign up for men somewhat monthly newsletter.

@@SavvyNomadTV I'm going to watch your adventures for a while, but I'm hoping to be able to plan a trip to France in a few years, and what y'all are doing is right up my alley. What a fun dream come true for you guys!

[@SavvyNomadTV]

@@andreaandraschko6359 It's been a long time coming and it is fun to do. I did do a whole vlog series of our boat trips in 2021. These were my first attempt at making videos so their quality is a bit rough but the scenery in France smooths it out for me. They are on a playlist here on the channel. They should give you an idea of what we are doing and I'm probably biased but I think it's pretty good vicarious travel.
