‘One of the charms of the Puffer is the relaxed attitude of the crew. You can climb down the ladder into the engine room to watch the magic of the lovingly polished pistons beating fast and rhythmically. Or try your hand at shoveling biofuel into the fire. You can, under instructions from the first mate, throw a line to the lockkeeper, or jump off the boat to loop ropes round bollards. You can climb up to the bridge and steer the ship, or help the cook somehow produce delicious meals in a galley no bigger than a coat cupboard.’
