Contrisson to Pargny-sur-Sauix

6 locks, 9 kms
I think we’ve gone stark staring bonkers. Moved again today to get to civilisation for the weekend. Driving snow and reached the first lock – we’re on the, supposed, automatics now – and when we broke the beam the lock didn’t go to ‘set’. At this stage G resembled a snowman. A quick phone call and all was well and we were soon joined by our VNF lady escort. All the locks were against us and, so, she pre-set them to our favour before we arrived at each one. We were a little concerned that the carte said that the moorings at Pargny were for a max of 11 metres (we’re 20), but thought we might get in anyway at this time of the year. We need not have worried – a stonking great peniche and a small cruiser were already on the moorings, so we’re back on gang planks again. This must be something of a record; this is the second consecutive day that I haven’t put a foot off of the boat. I don’t do the skinny gang plank.

Get Graham to nail a hand rail onto that fence to the cratch frame… LOL
Just a quick thought… hope Maffi doesn’t see how you’ve tied up MR though.. 😉

Skinny gang planks do my balance in – I don’t think Maffi reads my blog. Oh how I’d love a hand rail.
