We have arrived at the next canal at precisely 10:00. Phew! It’s still a little overcast, but nice. Lunch in Dames. It is a restaurant right at the lock, and very good! Everything made locally.
The afternoon is pleasant with some very low bridges. Sitting at the helm, I would be decapitated if I didn’t duck way down. We arrive at Mailly le Château early enough to go into town. We are moored in a field on the edge of the lower village (there was no businesses there), it’s a 500ft climb to the upper village. The upper village had a massive church, a town hall, a cafe-tobacco shop-newsstand-bar, and a little market.
The bar was a table with six chairs, and five minutes before it opened, there were six burly men standing outside. We decided that we had seen enough of the upper village.
Back to the boat…to pleasant pitter patter of little raindrops!
