Thanks cf, I'd much rather do this trip vicariously, through your posts.
So, on the first day the ups were downers, and the downs were uppers"?

Man, I love Francine's matting!

Spot on as usual, Bruce - and the wind got right up my nose!

What a great thread! Looks like a great trip.

I really enjoyed that bridge sequence. A human powered drawbridge is very cool.

I should have added that there were about six of these bridges in sequence along this stretch of canal - so no sooner had the boat passed through and the current bridge been closed, than our brace of bridgemen was scuttling off to the next one in line to have that opened in time for the boat's arrival. Not sure what happens when you have another boat coming from the opposite direction at the same time....
