We turned back onto
the Saône a few days ago and, after a couple of days in the woods, are now in
Auxonne. We have discovered that our route back to Nevers is closed for the
time being. The VNF have closed the Canal du Centre due to low water levels and
cannot say when it will re-open! We had heard rumours that this might happen in
August but, after all the rain we’ve experienced we thought things would be OK
by now.
So, what to do? We
have decided to go to St Symphorien for the time being. David enjoyed his stay
there in May when I came home to mark SATs and we’re wondering whether to
winter there even if we do get the chance to head back to Nevers. It’s a lovely
mooring but very rural – 4km to the nearest shop – and we were both looking
forward to seeing our friends in Nevers again. Whatever happens, we’ll have a
few weeks there to see how it feels and research some other possibilities.
