We are still in Auxerre and the stress is showing!
Geoff's face when he heard the river was still closed!! What.....I don't believe it!!
Debris alongside Soraya
There is so much debris coming down the river that we have to clear it nearly every day, many logs and sometimes full tree trunks. VNF (Voies Navigables de France) are trying to shift the water downstream so have opened up the weirs. This increases the flow so the river is running at about 5km/hr, not good for a boat of our size. We want to go downstream, so stopping could be a problem! I think we'll just hire a car and go south for a bit until it slows down again.

Oh dear! What an exciting time to be on the Canaux de France.
Perhaps it's better (and safer) to stay put, and continue to enjoy
what Auxerre has to offer.
Happy to see you have finally taken the plunge into "la France
profonde" and gone so far as to taste good old snails, one of you
at least. Come on Margaret, it's only a question of getting used
to that funny gelatinous substance under the tongue, the rest
is just butter and garlic - hot.
By the way, did Scoots recover???
or just put the butter and garlic on something nice - like bread?
