Saturday 26th May - Chagny to St. Legere sur Dheune

We left our mooring just after 11 a.m. as we only had four locks and a fairly short run to St. Legere.  The nine kilometre run to our first lock took us through very picturesque countryside and was without incident, apart from the worry of getting our canopy under some of the bridges.  Tina worked out a system whereas she would stand on the front deck with her arm held high and if her arm went through we were OK.  But eventually it became too nerve racking and we had to take it down - not too much of a problem shade wise, as the sun was hiding behind clouds!
We arrived just after 2 p.m. and were directed to a mooring with sloping rocks......not ideal but with better depth for us than the alternative offering.  Gary suggested that he walk back to an attractive little canal side restaurant that we passed, to book a table for dinner.  Unfortunately, as it was a Saturday, they were fully booked, so he walked into the little town to see what else was available.  There was an ulterior motive for this enthusiasm though - there was an ‘important’ football match later in the evening!  He reported back that there were two cafes, one a pizza and the other a kebab establishment.  There was also a bar with a TV.  We decided to try the one that looked more inviting at the time.
By the time we walked into town the bar had closed (which put paid to any hopes of watching football!) and on enquiring about the availability of a table for pizzas, were told it would be an hours’ wait, so we took the last option - the kebab cafe!  Crew, not being too familiar with kebabs, followed Garys’ lead and ordered a ‘Royal kebab’ - should have guessed it was the biggest thing on the menu!!
And, although it tasted very good, Crew could only manage half!
Back to the boat for digestifs and cards.
