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.....

Saturday 25th July 2009 Tournus. R. Saone

Warm and sunny. Mike made up a splitter to connect into the electricity supply. The British boat behind us had already split to allow a large British cruiser to have electricity so he wasn’t keen to split again, but the other supply was direct to a Danish cruiser so Mike told them their electric would be off for about 5 seconds while we connected. No problem, but they were making coffee so he said he would leave it five minutes. The yacht moored in front had gone and was replaced by a young German family on a poorly LeBoat whose water pump had packed up. Helen rang to say they’d unloaded Thursday and, although their shipper said they could get another load, she said they were having a few days off down south. 

We went shopping and bought a new blue electricity plug and socket to replenish our stocks. When we got back several boats had left, including the Danish boat we were splitting the electricity with and the French boat from directly behind us. We moved back one place so our electricity cable wasn’t at full stretch. Mike went up on the bridge to take photos of the mooring. After lunch Mike watched the F1 qualis from Hungary.
