Now we are on our own, and we realise how much we have done already this year and how great its been to have visitors. The new bow thruster motor sounds much more powerful Great we need it.More and more tight spots to get in and out of in France.
The weather has suddenly it seems dramatically changed to much more of an autumn type temp,- suddenly shorter days and a morning chill in the air till the sun really gets up and we have the duvet back on at night. But luckily no rain, so nice dry days.
Very flat farmland, beef cattle and ploughed fields of this seasons crops, a smattering of villages with the church bells chiming along the way. We have really noticed the lack of other boats on the Canals. We have motored for a full day and crossed 3 or 4 boats. We both assumed there would be a lot at this time of the year. No complaints…No trouble finding moorings.
Spent a night in Nevers port, where we caught the train back to Briare to pick up the car. We will again train to Nevers from Digoin for the car before we get packed up to go to UK for Lucys Aunts 80th in Norwich on 7th Sept..
So we plan to drive to Calais from Digion, ( 6hrs) to the Euro Tunnel, via St Jean de Losne, on The River Saone, and see where our boat will be for the winter. We feel all to overwhelmed by all that we want to plan to get done to the boat before next season so we think we may just pack her up and leave her till next year when we will come back to her with renewed energy and concrete ideas.
