It is over 3 weeks since Maria and I decided to enter the canal system of France at Calais. This was a change from our original plan to sail several hundred miles around the West coast of France until we reached the Canal De Midi which leads to the Mediterranean Sea. This decision to go inland early has turned out to be a sensible one as we have avoided all the issues of strong wind and unfavorable weather that makes sea sailing for a dinghy dangerous but not an issue when rowing along a safely sheltered canal. Rowing is a bit slow though! Canal cruising is also not without risk and you have to keep a look out for the large commercial barges which can arrive at any moment…
