Plombiére-les-Dijon to St Jean-de-Losne on the Saône river.
Wednesday 10 August. Plombiére was a good mooring. No power or water available, at least where we were, which is surprising considering it’s a reasonable size. There are very dilapidated electrical points but they don’t work. The lockeeper showed up … Continue reading
Pont d’Ouche to Plombiére-les-Dijon and a mishap.
Tuesday, August 9th. Guess who ran out of internet again? Can hardly believe we went through €80 and 10gigs in 18 days! We can’t work out how we are chewing through 10 gigs so quickly. So there was no internet … Continue reading

St-Florentin to Tonnerre and a spot of gate-crashing…
Well! So much for Allez les Bleus. We were heading to a bar in St Florentin to watch France play Portugal in the Euro Football finals. Somehow we ended up inviting ourselves (Martin, I’m looking at you) into the local … Continue reading
Gurgy, Migennes and Brienon-sur-Armançon
