Narrow Dog to Carcassonne by Terry Darlington
What a hoot. Darlington, his wife, and their dog (a whippet, aka "narrow dog") take a British canal boat (a long, cigar shaped boat designed to navigate the British canal system) and sail it across the English Channel (defying all odds and advice) and through the canals of France. Their adventures are never ending and Darlington's sharp wit makes their experiences absolutely hilarious. You *might* be inspired to sail the Canal du Midi, or maybe not. In either case, you'll enjoy the story of the Darlingtons' adventures!

If you enjoyed 'Narrow Dog to Carcassonne', you'll want to devour his next book, 'Narrow Dog to Indian River', where he takes 'Phyllis May' (and Jim) down the Intracoastal waterway from Virginia to the Gulf of Mexico.
I can't wait for his next adventure; he has a wonderful and unique writing style.
