Monday 20th July 2009 Villefranche to Jassans-Riotter. R Saone


Hot and sunny. Up at seven and away half an hour later, running alongside Floan and surfing their stern wave until we rounded the corner and a tug was coming upriver. We said au'voir to George and Helen and we’d see them on the return trip. Turned to point upstream and moored on the pontoon at Jassans-Riotter, quietly as it was still before 8.00 a.m. and people on boats were still asleep. Mike went to find the boulangerie to get a loaf for lunch, while I put the heat shields in the windows. We dozed in the heat - it was too hot to move.
