Stewart and Lesley MacLennan, from their home in Australia, decided to plan an adventure that would take them out of their comfort zone. Not that they had spent much of their lives in that particular zone!

The adventure involved designing and building a boat for the waterways of Europe - and it had to be wheelchair accessible. By late August 2008 they were on board and raring to go.

The 2008/09 journey through Europe, that is parts of England, Belgium and France, is now behind them. Endellion is moored at Nieuwpoort in Belgium and they are in Sydney planning their next adventure for 2010/11.
