Barge lady needed for France ( Archived) (11)

I am old but I am fulfilling my dream of traveling the French canals in my 24 metre barge Fidutia.
I am stuck in Strasbourg with no one to help me move on.
Interested?
See her pictures at
Must be able to drink.

What the hidey ho????

K...from what I can figure out here, some dude is drunk and has his barge stuck and is looking for a lady to push it out???

Hi Venusenvy, Maybe it you that are drunk. You don't get drunk on the real French wine, your senses liven up.
Obviously you have no idea what barging entails. A large one like mine by law has to have two people on board and that is the reason for my posting.
But you are partly right, but your ignorance wouldn't let you realise that my barge is 110 years old ( an age you wont make) and yes when she was young she needed to be towed by a horse. You would have done well at that. Now she has a lovely powerful engine so I guess I wont be needing your horse power.
Cheers

And with that charming post I don't think you'll find anyone else willing to go on board with you...

What has happened to the other ladies since almost 100 years ago?

According to your profile you are from Australia. I never met an Australian I didn't like but there's a first time for everything. Australians are nice people and I'm surprised that you have that nasty attitude, especially when you want something. But we seniors all get cranky once in awhile don't we. According to your profile it sounds like you are looking for a sugar mama.....someone to pay your way with that 110 year old barge. Good luck with that barge man...

Wow, You ladies are hot under the collar today. I certainly am not cranky. How could you be in France, on a canal in the sunshine. I wasn't the one with a nasty attitude. It was Venusenvy that said I was a drunk. There was no need for her to say that except to be nasty.
What gives you the idea I want money. If I didn't have any I wouldn't have the barge.Strasbourg is a beatiful place but I will want to move on next month.
But anyway thanks for your postings. The ladies who have contacted me don't share your views.
Below is one lady'e oppinion.

Hello R,
That's Bryan telling me that I can tell you about who he is.
You see he is a real captain and likes to give orders.
And that is how it should be on a boat if eveything has to work save.
But on his barge he is not all the time travelling, there is also time to stay at nice places, often in the centre of a town.

I have spent many times on his barge also alone and also with other friends and my children.
Because I am living in the north of Holland and can't spent all my time on holiday I am not able to go with him all the time.

What I said about him being the captain was a bit a joke, only a few rules ; looking at the video about ropes, excersise throwing ropes so you know what to do,no smoking on the barge, no drinking while travelling. If you can live with those "rules"you will be guaranteed of a nice trip with nice companion.

If I have to tell who is Bryan Griffin my answer is:
A friendly charming man who made the choice to do something with his life and possibilities.
Making his dream come true which is travelling with an old barge through France.
He is a good cook and I am missing his dinners and breakfasts.
If you like bordgames you can really make him happy.

If you want to know some more don't hesitate and ask me.
And if I have the possibility to see him this summer maybe we will see each other to.

Cheers, I

Where did I read on this site that those with no photo are most probably scammers from Ghana.
My profile, and thank you for reading it, is to put off people from Ghana and other similar countries who are trying to scam.
I have been cruising for two years and each time I have a lady to help and none of them have any regrets. Why should they when they are wined and dined.
I will say again, the French law requires two people on a barge this size when it is moving, and the free joy rides for the helping ladies are part and parcel of the offer. No one is forcing any one to come. The opportunity is for those that want some adventure.
