I dont know what other people think about that? Try and find a co pilot though it will half your costs.

If you have a diesel heater and can show you are using the red diesel for that, then you are OK, but as far as I know, red diesel is scrutinized, and is illegal for propulsion (engine use) in northern Europe, such as France. This I know from taking a boat through France and learning how sailors get questioned about large tanks of red diesel. A large UK barge can have diesel tanks of several thousand litres, but the owner has to show it is for use as heating fuel, not engine.
