Still here and still out of the water. We were thrilled when the welder started work on Thursday giving us a good shot of getting finished over the weekend, but of course this is France. Thursday was a bank holiday but the yard still worked, why? So they could take the Friday off and make it a long weekend of course.
Still we have managed to check off some items: the water system seems to be working OK after having to replace the expensive shower mixer tap that froze despite my best efforts to drain it. The electricals are good, so all that remains is the engine which looks to be OK. Some of the Unknowns are resolved, hopefully we will be in the water by mid-week.
There has been steady rain in April and May so the canals that were going to close are now open so we are back to plan A, which is through the Canal du Centre and over the Nivernais, which is good as we never did formulate a plan B.
Here is what happens if you spend too much time in one place:
Ahoy Armida: Echo here in Corre, also still out of the water. Fun, ain't it? Hope you are able to set out soon and us too. We also hope we will be going more or less the same way since we'd like to be able to say hi in person again. Happy canaling, Fran, Dwight & Yogi-dog.
