As some of you can recall we often refer to our life on the waterways as like living in a long village, this was proven again when who should we bump into but Willem and Yvonne off The Way. A gorgeous Dutch couple who we have met many times, (bizarrely 3 of those times on Bastille Day) What makes them such an inspiration is that Willem has been wheelchair bound after an accident in his early 20's. Since then he designed and built their boat himself, with assistance from Yvonne,there was a delay for a few years because he ended up owning and running a boat building business now finally they now cruise the waterways each summer. We caught up for a couple of hours this morning, they rafted off the side of Linquenda as they have done a number of times before.
Willem at the helm of The Way, a lift gets him to the lower levels
We wave farewell , till next we meet
