MORE LOCKS

How many can you do a day? It depends on many factors. Firstly as the old saying goes size matters, secondly reliability. It doesn't matter how big it is if it doesn't work. Thirdly and not last, other navigators. Hire boats (Tupperware) say no more! Fourthly waiting time. 

A deep one! Chalon 34b Med 10.75 metres deep.

You want me to go up again!

We were waiting at a lock on the Saône recently wondering why the fully manned lock was taking so long. The lock gates opened and this leviathan came out.

110 metres long with 60 suites, dozens of crew, swimming pool, gym, pitch and put etc. etc.

Once on the Saône as opposed to the Petit Saône these monsters come thick and fast, taking customers on cruises from Chalon-sur-Saône down to Marseille and back.
