Aramon to Diksmuide - Day 7

Well, I am ready for a rest, are you?
We're nearly at our first stop, where we can rest. Meaning, carry out repairs.



Boats are like children, they demand constant attention. Our target tonight is St Jean de Losne. We were here a little over a year ago buying the boat.

We set off at 07:15 to a glorious cloudy day. After endless hot days we are glad to feel the comfort of jumpers! We're leaving PK162 and St Jean de Losne is only 53 kilometres away - yipee!
Picture
That'll do - I am noting this all down for when we build our farmhouse in Australia - we have a bit of dirt there that cows are looking after.... perhaps one day...
Picture
I love the different shades of green - my eyes like it too - giving them a rest from a glaring laptop!
Picture
A bit of a close up - hope I'm not boring you!

Our smooth wake following the curve of the banks.

Typical views throughout the last few days.

Back in St Jean de Losne. We're actually around the corner to this picture - in the 'working yard' side. After much flapping and farting about we tied up to the beautiful barge Highlander - another Aussie boat! Noel is repairing our central heating system and then we'll be back on the road.
I hope you've enjoyed the first part of our journey.
In a few days we'll commence our trip north to Belgium, I hope you can join us.

We were delighted to see that your barge - and ours - create almost no wake as we traverse the canals, meaning no damage to banksides.

Yes, it is neat. We are very conscious of it and always slow down when passing other boats (whether they are moving or moored) - I wish everyone did!
