After their journey south through the French canals, told in Watersteps through France, Bill and Laurel Cooper cruised their converted Dutch barge, Hosanna, around the Greek Islands. Needing a replacement engine, they hurried back to the U.K. for a refit, meeting all kinds of difficulties, delights and disasters along the way. This is the story of their eventful 2300-mile voyage home via the Ionian Isles, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, and then the waterways of France, and across the English Channel. We are treated to the Coopers' lively insight into the manners, customs and frustrations of those whose paths they cross on their journey home.
