Left Clamecy under cloudy skies, but no rain in the forecast. I am driving until lunch and then I go back to being the bow man. This canal has a lock every one or two kilometers which is a lot. Because of logistics of getting here and going back we decided to go from Migennes to Flex-Cuzy. Well that turns out to be up river, which isn’t too bad, but at every lock we enter at the bottom and rise up. You need to tie off the boat when it’s in the lock so it doesn’t bounce around, but the bollards you need to tie to are way up there!
Today we do the last nine locks with a break halfway for lunch. The final lock of the trip is a double lock with three sets of gates. It’s a long way up.
We end up at the boat rental place, ready to turn in the boat tomorrow and head, by train, to Paris and a national strike.
