Gray to Scey-sur-Saône. Stormy weather.
Gray was such a convenient (and free) mooring we stayed for six days. It’s a big town with an Intermarché Super and Brico only five minutes walk away and free power and water if you moor close enough to an … Continue reading

Auxonne, Dole & Rochefort. Heatwaves and thunderstorms.
August 24 Thursday Daughter Georgie and her partner Chris arrived to visit us, travelling from Santorini to Auxonne via most modes of transport known to man including planes trains and automobiles. They arrived to a bit of a heatwave here … Continue reading
Au’revoir and Kia Ora. It’s time to chase the Summer south.
It’s that time of year, folks. We have only three more days in France and then homeward bound (to our other home because Silver Fern really does feel like a home now). Someone said it doesn’t feel like we had … Continue reading

Lyon, Belleville, Tournus and Chalon. The beautiful Saône River.
Thursday September 8th. We left Lyon, turning ‘a droit’ up the Saône, back the way we had come. I was a bit reluctant to leave, I loved feeling part of the hustle and bustle of the city while having our … Continue reading
Chalon sur Saône marché, an unexpected night on the Seille river and on to Mâcon.
Sunday, August 28. We left Chalon at 10.30 after visiting the excellent market that is centred on the Place St Vincent and then meanders down the side alleys. Lots of fruit and vege stalls plus fish, sausage and artisanal cheese … Continue reading

St Jean de Losne to Seurre and Chalon sur Saône. 35°+ Phew!
Thursday 25 August. As forecasted this week we are having a bit of a heatwave. Temperatures round 35° (inside and outside) and as usual very little breeze. Much as we love the St Jean de Losne marina it can get … Continue reading

Getting a bit of a lift. Silver Fern takes to the air.
Well, it has been a while since I posted and that is because nothing hugely exciting had been happening. And I mean that in a good way. We’ve been moored up in St Jean de Losne catching up on cleaning, … Continue reading
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
There were highs, there were lows…
It’s fair to say that today didn’t start well. Initially all seemed fine. We got up early (for us). I wandered across the pedestrian bridge to the Île Saint Laurent for the morning baguette while Alan topped up the water … Continue reading

I’m sad to say it’s time to go…
So we made it from Dole to our winter mooring place at Blanquarts in St Jean de Losne. The trip from Dole went well even though we hit torrential rain while waiting for a lock to open. But it lasted … Continue reading
