After securing the required finance I headed off to Paris to take a first look at what was potentially our first boat. I found her on the Internet and recognizing a good price I decided it was worth the trip to save a few thousand pounds. She was owned by a Australian couple (pictured right) who where on the last leg of a four year tour of the Med, culminating in a trip through the inland waterways of France and eventually to the UK. I fell in love immediately and pending a positive survey I was now the proud owner of Flora Ella. We decided not to change her name after finding out from the previous owners that it was named after her mum who just happened to grow up one street away from me in Melbourne, and wend to the same school that my sister was at! This was all just too much of a coincidence, so Flora Ella stuck.
