mythical Inuit wolf-like creature, thus our bow

This Partnership has allowed Nancy and I to enjoy cruising the French inland waterways in
style and luxury at a fraction of the cost of sole ownership. It has also allowed us to share
the responsibilities and decision-making process with a great group of like minded partners.
Unless you're in a position to spend a large amount of time cruising abroad, this arrangement
makes a lot of sense. It has certainly worked well for us!

Also, keep in mind that all you see above represents only one-quarter of the adventures
of the AMAROK in the last four years! Our Log Book on board reflects all the travels of the
boat. There is also a European Waterways Map posted on the buklhead in the salon on
which each partner has highlighted his route aboard the AMAROK.
