Waking up to a beautiful clear day we cast off at 07:15 from PK 66.
We puttered passed Macon. The long jetty was completely empty. On the way down we had stopped here. It was safe but noisy with locals enjoying a few beers nearby.
We stopped at Tournus for half an hour, just for some bread.
... and a quick walk around the small town. The concrete jetty was free and easy to tie up to.
Pretty cottage added to my wish list!
I'd love a tower in my back yard - wait a minute, I don't even have a back yard!
I never become tired of these views.
Clever flower arranging!
Tied up on Gerdy Village jetty. It's a little rickety but a good stop for the night.
We're getting there! Today we a whopping 96 kilometre. We went straight through all the locks, and the tail wind helped, which reminded us of our sailing days. With very little traffic or current, we arrived to marker PK 162, the village of Gerdy - at 17:30.
Here's France, you can just see the south coast of England. We are the red circle in the middle, the green line is our route.
We felt snug and safe as the heavens opened and thunder and lightning cracked around the boat!
