Sunday 3rd September - Joinville to Donjeux

Crew woke fairly late again so we didn't get going until just before 10 a.m. - in fact the mist was rather thick so by then it was starting to clear.  All the locks were our way for a change so, with the sun warming us up and layers being discarded, it was a lovely cruise through the beautiful Champagne-Bourgogne countryside. We did have to empty the filter once as the weed had increased somewhat.  We moored just before midday on a pontoon with space for just 3/4 boats of our size.  Crew finished listening to The Archers while Skip secured the boat and plugged in to the power.  With the sun now shining, a lovely stopping place!  Skip did a recce and discovered a hotel/ bar/ restaurant just the other side of the bridge - unfortunately, closed down!
So lunch on deck whilst the sun was shining, albeit a bit hazy.  Crew cooked a spaghetti bolognaise for dinner which was consumed below however as the temperature drops considerably after 6 p.m.
A couple of DVDs and bed.
