Ending up High and Dry

San Luis Obispo.
We reviewed our options in Dole and decided we did not have enough time left to go anywhere interesting in the boat so we headed back to Saint Jean de Losne, stopped at the quay to do all our laundry and ended up in the marina in Blanquarts to begin the end of season chores.
Engine Hours:                55
Kilometres Travelled:   272
Number of Locks:           85

Of course, the minute we stopped cruising the crisp, sunny Autumn weather we had hoped for returned at full force.  Not much to do in Saint Jean except visiting other boats and watching French fishing techniques.IMG_5139
We got the boat chores done, Armida lifted out and placed next to Il Largo who we first moored next to in 2011. With a few extra days we rented a car and took a few days to get to Paris.
