So close ...Just have to talk klaus into it.
we made it to Cambrai. Its only 25 or so km but about 10 locks and we played barge dodgems a lot. the barge drivers were all very helpfull and even called ahead to the other barges to let them know we had bilge keels and where we were. Helpfull. Klaus decided to have a rest after we picked up water in the lock. Rae towed and i fended till we got outside the lock and i ...
Towed through the tunnel.
... meat. left early and enjoyed an empty canal all day. We arrived at the second tunnel at 1130 ready to get a few more miles under the belt but we had to wait till 3:30 to get towed throughh the tunne by the electric tugl.

Too many days cooped up on a boat with me cant be doing her sanity any good so a day off is in order. We took care of the fuel and supplies etc and headed into town for a beer. in a tiny little pub there was a live band. ...
The promised land is busy
... it was maybe not too bad so tried the canal water again. Here is a tip folks. Anything alloy below zero will freeze water. Even if it is only a little below freezing. i am a slow learner. i poured salt over the deck and we got going after 9:30. We whizzed through the locks and only met a couple of barges. It went very well. At around 2:30 we entered the new canal which is much bigger. Chauny city is only a few km from the turnoff. The marina loomed in front and looking ...
