Cruising again!

Seurre

Our throttle cable is fixed and I can add one more skill to my list, and at last we are away.

 

Today started  off cool but ended sunny and warm in the little town of Seurre which is at the start of the “large” Saone.  This where the river gets wider and even slower as it makes its way to Lyon where it joins the Rhone. Seurre is a lovely little town and the mooring, when we arrived at noon, pretty and peaceful.  Now it is 6pm and the rental boats are still arriving, “Rembrandt”  the big tourist hotel boat has just moored further down so it is not quite as peaceful, but still pleasant.

Now we can take our time, leave when we want, and stop when we feel like it - what we like about this life.  I have not quite relaxed into the slower pace yet but it won’t take long. Terry is already there and the dogs - well they have their own rhythm anyway.

It is supposed to rain tomorrow so we may stay here, or not.  When we do leave we will take a day to Chalon sur Saone and spend a few days exploring this larger town before heading into the Canal du Centre.

Here’s wishing Skye a very happy birthday.
