France Afloat

Last few days little data available to upload photos, so now on 4G which should work. We all In troppo mode and happy to cruise about and take things as they come. Came south to cruise the Oudon river to Segre, as the Sarthe river is now closed due low water. Lock operation can be limited at times, especially where the barrage ( weir) adjacent to the lock, has little water going over it. Have enjoyed eating out where we can, especially last night at La Table du Meunière which I booked 3 weeks ago …. A long lightning / thunderstorm last night and a good bit of
rain - had to run like crazy from the restaurant to close the hatches over the cabins.
Much cooler now so all extremely pleasant. Only disappointment has been to see a baguette dispenser machine or two. Quel horreur . We making our way upstream again to Chateau Gontier where we have arranged to leave the boat to be winterised. Have engaged Edouard to manage a monthly inspection until May next year. Definitely wouldn’t return in July heat .Les mer
