M. O. B. - Eau du Canal

[Sunday] It has been very windy almost all day and all night, since we arrived in the south of France. This has made operating the boat very challenging. This morning a boat ahead of us was having significant navigation problems. We were forced to sit aside another boat while the situation ahead of us improved. The trick then is to hang on to the other boat but at the same time keep it at a safe distance. In a very good attempt to do this, John ended up going into the canal unexpectedly. Not the freshest of water. He was able to jump into a hot shower right away.

This is where we had lunch today, and will spend our second night on the canal. We are at Capestang. Capestang is a very nice stop. There is a huge, ancient church, and a lively market (we visited on our return trip).
