2.3° C Misty start then warm sunshine. We were going to have a day out sightseeing in the car, but Mike said he really ought to be there when the electrican brought C the electricity box as he knows nothing about electric (he didn’t turn up). The lady lock keeper from Cercy came and told M that we couldn’t leave on Monday we had to leave on Sunday as there was a new stoppage notice which said the canal was closing a week early due to water shortages. (Load of bunk, there was no water shortage on the Nivernais.) The last F1 GP was on Sunday so Mike checked how far it was to Champvert and the time of the GP. After lunch he went to the lock, spoke to the lock keeper’s husband and told him we’d like to leave Sunday morning at 9.30 a.m. - just us, the others were still moving after lunch. He said he would tell her.

About Me
- June and Mike
- Mike and I are spending our retirement cruising all the inland waterways of Europe after having done the same in the UK from 1969 until 1992. We've navigated from one end of Europe to the other, so now we're doing some of it again. Hope you enjoy reading the Continental voyages of Temujin! Boat blogs so far - http://nbtemujin2008.blogspot.com/ http://nbtemujin2009.blogspot.com/ http://nbtemujin2010.blogspot.com/ http://nbtemujin.blogspot.com/ http://nbtemujin2011.blogspot.com/ Note - blogging started in 2009, 2008+ is being added retrospectively. Please also note that I tend not to do tourism stuff (except trips out by car), Mike and I are canal enthusiasts and therefore my blogs describe our trips on canals and rivers - not bars, bistros, restaurants and museums!! There are plenty of guide books to cover all that, plus it all changes quickly these days too, so I leave that to the experts.
