Today was the canal equivalent of running downwind in the southern ocean – cold & fast!
This morning we departed the dock just before 0800 and were in our first lock at 0810. By 1000 we had already passed through 4 locks, dropping a total of 32m
We then had a 10nm run until the next set of canals which also happened in quick succession.
At 1415 we entered the 1.5km tunnel La Panneterie where the kids were allowed to go up on the bow with Emilie to enjoy the tunnel.
We then had another 4 locks traveling behind a cargo ship, and finally just on dark we docked next to a freight train bridge (oh the serenity!) at 1730.
A long day with 12 locks covering 58km we barely had a chance to take a photograph. It is awesome to be making the miles again! Paris here we come!
