13th August 2009 Thursday. Fragnes. C. du Centre


We moved the boat over on to the pay moorings in Fragnes and had trouble getting close to the grassy bank so we moved a little further towards the lock, but the bottom was very close – then the deep lock, 34bis, started filling and the water level dropped. Mike organised the two tyres (that we sometimes use as fenders) to lay horizontal in the water to keep us away from the wooden edging but the boat still went on the bottom and listed whenever the deep lock filled. We watched what the boat would do and adjusted the ropes, etc, accordingly and then added heat reflectors to the windows on the sunny side and shut the blinds before we went into Chalon by car to do some shopping.
