All crew were ready at 9.30 so we left the port with a very chilly wind accompanying us but with a promise of some sunshine to come. There was a boat in front of us at our first lock so we had to wait until he went down. The following locks should be better timed though so, no panic! Indeed, all but one lock behaved well and we arrived in Waltenheim around three o’clock. There were two possibilities to moor - one before the lock and one after. Crew recognised the spot before the lock....we had moored there before, so we tied off loosely and Skip went to see if the other mooring was better. It wasn’t, so we tied off securely and Henk came in behind us.
Another late lunch on deck as although the wind was still a bit chilly the sun was shining, so we were quite comfortable.
The only possible restaurant was closed (Monday!) so we decided to dine on board. Henk had not managed his kidneys yesterday lunchtime, so they packed them up for him, along with the fried potatoes he had, so he had another meal, ready cooked! Crew cooked sausages and onion gravy with some veg.
Some TV and not too late to bed.
