On the left in the picture you can see my friend Migges, who got me into all this with Emma by finding her and initiating the purchase. Next to him is his friend xxx, who helped me with the transfer on the Rhine

As shown in this picture, Emma lay in the stream of an arm of the Rhine for about 7 years, summer and winter.

Here is the side view again with the boat fully disguised. It's great that Migges discovered this boat down there in the water while driving by on a highway.

It was pretty exciting to just set off on a boat that you had only seen once before. And now you were completely on your own, not knowing whether the engine would give you a problem or what else might happen. After all, we had about a 2-hour journey ahead of us on the impressively fast-flowing Rhine with plenty of boat traffic.
