As you can see, the weather is clearer and things are “greening” up for our journey. The following pictures are one typical canal lock. We had to wait for this barge to leave the lock. Amazing how they fit. We think our fit is tight!

Heading to Chauny, where we will find the best Port du Pliance (a more advanced mooring with showers, laundry, electic, water, etc). We left our cozy mooring at 8am, coffee and 2 locks then pulled over for a good breakfast of bacon-eggs in Jussy, France.

Friday – April 9th

Our risk for tying up to the waiting dock of the lock is that when the lock opens and the large barges start their day, our boat experiences all the wake surges. So, we awake at 7am to a crisp day.
