LA MARNE

Now we are moving along and getting to the rally in Ghent is a possibility. La Marne is a big river with very few locks, very little traffic and very calm. We are progressing well and doing up to 70 kilometres a day. Yes that is a lot on a barge. A 'bloody lot' said Margaret.

Tranquil waters.

Being a 'shed' person I was impressed with these fishing/socialising structures. Obviously for fishing but all have a table and chairs for al fresco lunches. An obvious but no less amusing point is that they have only one wall with a locked door. I suppose no one is going to break in from the river side.

A peaceful location.

Of course we have our own dining location where we have spent a considerable time in this amazing weather. Must get on, we are now well on our way to Paris where we have booked a mooring in the Arsenal. A couple of days off from navigation and meeting up with friends.

After dinner chilling.
