Sunny with a few clouds, chilly first thing warm later. M and D went to the Mairie to ask about winter moorings. No, not possible as the VNF might want to drain the pound and they didn’t want the hassle of moving boats – not even if we’re staying on board. (The VNF have got it all stitched up, only places to moor on the C. du Centre are Montceau and Digoin, neither place appeals to either crew). While they were investigating at the Mairie we went by car to Perrecy-les-Forges, 18 kms back toward Montceau, to collect the insurance certificate for our moped. Back in Paray, we did some shopping at Leclerc, not my favourite hyper but no choice other than Intermarché or Aldi. Back home before midday. M and D were off with their trolley to Leclerc when we got back. They went as far as the bridge and came back. Mike took them in the car as it’s not easy to get to Leclerc from the canal as it’s close to the main N70 to the north of town, up the hill. He needed to get a container of diesel for the boat’s tank anyway. Mike consulted with The Big Boat; decision – move on next day as it’s very noisy at Paray. Irish lady on a cruiser moored behind us told us that around 2.00 a.m. some kids had tried to steel their bikes, then interfered with the ropes on their boat and the ropes on an American Dutch Barge that had moored in front of The Big Boat; then the alarm went off in Aldi. Mike heard the noise, I didn’t. We moved further back up the canal to where there was a gap in the trees to get satellite TV later. Mum and Dad phoned to say the control units for the solar panels had arrived.
