We decided on a short run to Chausee, where we had stopped with Martin and Clare and enjoyed a superb dinner. Unfortunately when Skip mailed the restaurant we were informed that they were closed until tomorrow but we decided to go anyway. We left a very empty marina at 10.15 a.m. As we approached the mooring, two boats were departing - a lunch stop I guess. The mooring bollards were too far apart so we had to use spikes. When we were here with Martin and Clare our spike was pulled out of the ground by the undertow of a commerce, so Skip put two spikes in.......belt and braces! It had been an easy trip in beautiful sunshine - summer at last!
We had a lazy lunch on deck, then usual siesta. We didn't bother to go into the village as there wasn't much to see and no shops for Skip!!
At about 6.45 the little orange yacht with the two Brits aboard went by, rather fast. As the next lock was a good 20/25 minutes away and the locks close at 7 p.m., we were not quite sure where they would stop for the night!
Crew cooked a chicken dinner, then we stayed up top for quite a while until it started to get a bit chilly. One DVD and bed.
17.5 km 3 locks 3 hours
