We left our make-shift mooring near St. Seine/Vingeanne, thankful that the stakes and “gang-plank” worked so well, and motored just around the next bend to the lock. Since we were in-between two locks with no official mooring we had to contact VNF to let them know we were waiting to go through.
We left around 9am, heading into a day with 7 locks ascending to the Balesme Tunnel. This would be Wendell and Shelly’s first experience with a tunnel. Before we reached the Tunnel, we had a lock keeper that was assisting us with several locks and in-between two of the locks there was a swing bridge.
Sunday, and be at the first lock of the day by 9am. This is necessary as most of the locks in this canal are manually activated or hand-cranked.
See you on the Water
