After musing over all the work we need to do to prepare Armida for winter here in Nancy where they can expect up to 8 inches of ice and who knows what other type of weather we are taking the easier path by heading to Strasbourg where they will lift her out of the water and keep her inside for the winter - and I will sleep a lot better for the next 5 months.
It is a bit of a shame as we were looking forward to two weeks of getting to know Nancy better, a town we really like so far, and also the other boaters in the port who have been very friendly, helpful and interesting. Never mind, we will be back this way in the spring.
So tomorrow we set off down the Canal de la Marne au Rhine yet again, down a path we have already done twice. This will not be a fun trip this time as the weather is cold and the best day in the forecast has a top of 11C (51F) with some showers mixed in. We can stay warm by steering from inside but we have to go out for the locks every 15 minutes or so in some stretches. With luck we will be in Strasbourg in 6 days
