- Ep20: Down to Decize. At BAYE we reached the top of CRUISING the Nivernais Canal which is fed from the reservoir. Now the descent to Decize through 34 locks. We found a tiny unknown gem of a restaurant, suffered weed infested water, the lowest bridge and deepest lock. The NIVERNAIS experience reaches its climax as we prepare to enter the final destination, but for automation ceasing operation on a lunch break! Then, just as you think it's all done and dusted on the homeward stretch, a big drop . .?
The voice over for this episode was recorded during a mistral wind and it was too noisy on the boat! We really needed to find a "quiet" spot to record - that didn't happen and I'm sure you'll spot the difference! Although it's a longer episode we hope you stay with it to the shocking end and enjoy this video as much as we did making it - stay safe. JnS.

I have been watching and enjoying each one of your Canal and Rivers of France videos.
Life is rarely a plain sailing, no pun intended; I'm referring to the fall of the camera. When we are on the last leg of the journey, we look forward to being unloaded and sitting down. As this vlog was your last episode, I'll be patient to find out what's happened since your return to the UK.
Thank you for watching Michell and for your very kind comment. The next episode will be finished soon - it's being edited in between lots of boat works :) the outcome of the camera sage will be revealed . . .
Stay safe

Nice. Looks like the time of the year we are going through at moment. Just passed Briare Aqueduct, taking it easy in Chatillon-sur-Loire.
Hello Igor, we’re so glad your journey is going well - fantastic! Our friends on Koraal took your route and thoroughly enjoyed it as we know you will too. Thanks for watching and commenting - keep us updated on your progress!

@@sailingoptions Cheers! Thanks ever so much. After 101 locks decided to have a break and go back to England - planning to resume in 10 days. Got Canal du Centre, Saone and Rhone left for dessert 🙂
another excellent video, and its clear that the videography is getting better and better!
Hi Hillary, thanks for that encouragement - I'm really not sure there was a conscious effort to improve - just familiarity probably - but we'll take the compliment.
Thank you for watching and commenting.

Watch you wash on the bankside 😊no excuses
You are spot on with that and I agree. We didn't like going above 3knots, although occasionally we had to. Thanks for watching and commenting and I hope you'll stick with us for the ride and keep a watchful eye on us.

what a country
France is beautiful in many places and we thoroughly enjoyed being away from the hustle and bustle of big towns and cities for a while - then a new town emerges to explore!
Thanks for watching

Great Video, How long ago were you in Cercy la Tour?
Hello Barry, thanks for watching and commenting. We rested 3 nights at Cercy and used the showers across the river in the camp site. Enjoyed a peaceful time there. We were there exactly one year ago. Our videos are catching up with real time slowly as we enjoy more cruising :)
Stay safe
