canal du midi.

[john wonfor]

I need help from you lovely people , a couple of years ago I did a charity fundraising trip for macmillan , all four points of the country , using my boat called " listen " , last year I covered every inch of the Norfolk and Suffolk broads in my little grp fishing boat , my first boat did not survive , in two weeks time I am off to france , Toulouse to a place called sete , using the canal du midi , what I need from you is a phone number of a marina who have a slipway in Toulouse , I cant get any joy .

I will be putting my trip on my "facebook " when I get near to going , look under , john wonfor , my first trip seemed to amuse people for some reason , my daily logs were a series of mishaps , but what can go wrong in " france " ,,, regards , john.

Have you considered the fact that sections of the Midi may be subject to de-watering in the winter?

Tam and Di may be along soon to assist.

Have you tried Port Saint-Saveur - it's the port du plaisance run by the mairie in Toulouse? If they don't have one they will certainly know of one.

in fact they do have one "une rampe de mise à l'eau"

 

There's also one at Ramonville-st-agne 11km along the Canal du Midi - but that's cheating I guess

 

or, if worse come to worse, speak to the VNF at Toulouse, 0033 5 61 36 24 24 - there's a woman there who speaks English, Stefanie Johnson

Sometimes this forum is just brilliant. What helpful responses! Don't forget to give them a greenie, OP.
