Would appreciate advice on whether it is feasible to explore Europe along
the rivers. Are passage fees prohibitive? Are bridges probitive for most
mast heights? Is settling down for a few weeks at anchor and cycling about
permissible? What would be the common-sense limit size yacht assuming
travel was possible?

While winding my way through one site which dealt with group sailing in
France, I saw the comment that it was possible to go into France Atlantic
side and exit Mediterranean. Looking at the atlas made me no wiser on this
but it sort of started the preceding questions running through my mind.

I have been googling things like "Up the Douro..." etc etc and have had my
interest sparked by the prospect of extended retirement cruising to all the
places I wanted to see but work just got in the way.
