Thursday 16 May Boats
a’hoy-Captain calling from the Canal de Midi
Well here we are on the Midi. Decided to do a 4 night/5 day hire at the
last moment. Booked a small 2 person
Penichette and in the end we got the 11 metre monster. Yes upgrade.
Now on a 4 person/2 bathroom inc flying bridge etc. Super comfortable but in high winds it is
like steering a large boat with full sails down a canal that is only 20-25
metres wide. End of day 3 now. We started at Argens-Minervois, night 1 at Le
Somail, night 2 at Poilhes, turned around late day 3 and are currently at
Capestang. Absolutely amazing way to
travel and lots of moored boats but not many on the move. This route only takes us through 2
locks. Lunches on the boat and little
restaurants at night.
Finish Friday morning and then to Carcasonne for
weekend. We are now half way through the
trip. It is already good for us to read
back and remember.
Got to go as the little Tabac has just opened for coffee
across the canal (now Thursday morning).
Au revoir. Enjoy
the pictures!!
boat looks amazing!
