Back to civilisation today! We left at the more human time of 10 a.m., choosing to travel together. It had rained during the night but it was a beautiful morning with blue skies and sunshine. We just had a problem with our penultimate lock on the canal but after a call, it was solved remotely. In our last lock there was a ‘post box’ in which we had to deposit our telecommandes before the lock would operate - we had forgotten this from last year!
We arrived in the marina at Pontailler at 1.15 p.m. and squeezed into a space just about big enough for us both, at a pinch. In the morning, Skip had phoned the restaurant, Hostel des Marronieres near the marina to book us a table for dinner, so no galley for Crew.....hoorah!!
We enjoyed a good dinner, if a little expensive, then back to Aphrodite for digestifs and chatting till fairly late.
17 km. 7 locks. 3 1/4 hours
