Another nice place...
Arrived at Vitry-le-François Friday evening and managed to tuck ourselves onto the end of the alongside pontoon at the little Halte. Only room for three longer boats and quite shallow but good for us. Moored under the plane trees which are providing us with some very welcome shade as the temperatures have been well into the 30's this weekend. 10€ a night including electric and water - 25€ if you stay 3 nights - so of course we are…
Frank from 'River Holme' (also moored here) is leapfrogging his car and very kindly took us and Peter and Mitch off "Ozzee Crawl" to the big Leclerc hypermarket to stock up on essentials such as beer, wine… oh yes - and water. We were also able to fill our fuel cans which means we can now not worry about the latter end of the Canal entre Champagne et Borgogne where apparently there is neither fuel nor shops.
Much as we like it here and the company is certainly very convivial, we will crack on tomorrow but probably not at the crack of dawn.
