This is the story of the start of this year's cruise, leaving the Canal du Midi in France and heading North up the river Rhone (which many people told us couldn't be done with such a slow vessel as a narrowboat) so here's the story.....

Monday 6th July 2009 Maguelonne. Canal du Rhone a Sete

21.1°C (24.3°C minimum overnight inside the boat, getting hotter and hotter) Unloaded the moped off the roof down the long plank and Mike used the new short plank (which was only just long enough) to walk across as he wheeled the bike down the long plank to the bank. He rode off down the towpath at ten to do the 200 kms round trip. Sent a text at 12.15 a.m. to say he was at Vias and about to move the car to St Gilles, another message at 1.50 p.m. to say he was at St Gilles and was setting off on the moped. He arrived at 5.15 p.m. tired, hot and hungry and fed up with the holiday traffic. A lovely cool breeze blowing straight down the cut through the side doors cooled the boat down dramatically so we left the doors open until very late.
