We retraced our previous route for our journey back to Narbonne.

Photo's
1, The tranquil canal du Midi in winter.

2,The 'Le Boat' hire boat base at port Cassefieres that Jay referred to.

3,Almond trees in blossom gave an air of impending spring.

4,Approaching the sept ecluse (7 locks) going up .

5,You have to make sure you are moored correctly when the lock keepers open the sluices.

6,This brings many ooh's and aaah's from the crowd of onlookers.

7,Looking back 'downhill'.

As I've explained the boat was for sale and we serviced the engine/gearbox, checked all electrics and mechanicals, supplied all new bed linen, quilt, pillows etc. pots pans, utensils, plates, cutlery and glasses and valeted the interior ready for any inspection.
We feel that by presenting the boat in this condition is showed good faith and would help to sell the boat.

And the result of all our hard work ?

The prospective buyer met us back at our base in Narbonne and after some gentlemanly negotiations bought the boat .
