We took the plunge -- in a manner of speaking -- to cruise the Canal du Midi in Locaboat's 1022FB. I contacted Roger Van Dyken, one of Locaboat's stateside brokers, to confirm our reservation for next fall.
We'll pick up our Penichette 1022FB at Argens-Minervois, but we haven't yet decided which direction to go: up canal toward Carcassone or down canal toward Naerbonne and Beziers. But the trip will be out and back. Any suggestions?

The 1022FB is virtually identical to the 1020FB:
. . . except that the second, rear sleeping cabin has been replaced by a second sitting area, making this an ideal cruiser for two people:
Oh, and FB stands for "flying bridge," which provides a second steering position "up top," in addition to the one inside (located in the middle or midships main sitting area). The other two styles of penichette are the classique and the aft deck.
