This month’s “showcase” boat is Nellie Dick, a replica Dutch barge, cruising the inland waters of the Netherlands. The photo was taking a few years ago when she was “iced in”.
I’ll admit to a bit of nostalgia around boats in Holland (yes, the skipper was born there). Holland offers a rich variety of inland cruising and Nellie Dick looks to be eminently suitable!
The cruisers wiki has some rudimentary information on cruising in the Netherlands. The Barge Association website has good information about barges.
Know what it is like to be iced in – we were twice when we cruised the Pacific North West.
