Rouen

Am typing this in the dark to save our battery...leaving in a few minutes for Le Havre, it is pouring with rain.
Wilhelmina with her mast up and rigging back is ready to go home. Will put sails up tomorrow in Le Havre whilst we wait for Harry and favourable weather. Am dreaming of a shower...have been wahsing in river water for the last few days to save water. Must go. If we are to complete the 120km in one day and cope with incoming flodd we have to leave at 7

Montargis

Too exhausted to write anything but all's well and everyone happy. A few crises, hitting a few stones, too much wind pushing us across lock entrance, boat stuck in shallow water, and much bad communication between skipper and crew. But we are all improving. Well we have to!Yesterday went food shopping for the next installment, Catherine, Claude, Sophie and Felix arriving on the 11th. That will make 8 of us on board!
