St Symphorien

After much deliberation, we have decided to stay at St Symphorien for the winter. We're booked into the dry dock near here to have the keel removed (attempt #2!) in April and the round trip to Nevers is about 400km. So, we thought we may as well stay here.
Although this is a small village and not many other people stay on board all winter, we're quite close to St Jean de Losne where there is a thriving boating community. I visited the 'book swap' at the local museum this morning and found out about various up-coming social events. I think there'll be plenty to do here if we want to join in.
