Didn’t hear much rain last night. We had told the lock keepers we’d leave Thursday morning at… 9:15am. When Tess took off at 9 this morning it was pouring with thunder and lightning. We were glad for the choice we made since it was supposed to rain all day. Turns out it didn’t! I think Tess had a couple hours then it cleared off. We walked the town and saw the outside of the Chateau de Longecourt-en-Plaine. On our return we chatted with the couples on the two boats leaving at 1pm. John and Winnifred, from Ireland, boat is Alvoirs II and I didn’t get the other couples names but they are on Clamente, from England. They had just brought their boat down from the Netherlands I think it was. Both are headed to St Jean de Losne so we may seem them on Thursday.
Two boats pass us while we’re hanging out and go through écluse 69. The éclusier tells us they’re stopping before the next lock and we’ll be joining them tomorrow through écluse 70 – 76. A bit later Dorney and Tham come down, we saw Tham in Pouilley as well. Dorney goes through the lock and Tham ties up across the canal down the quai from us. Three of us on the quai again tonight. The éclusiers will be busy with five boats heading toward St Jean de Losne tomorrow!
3:40pm starts to drizzle. 8:30pm it rains hard with thunder and lightning. We’re just finishing dinner so turn off the light and watch the show. After a while it eases and we go to bed. Then it comes back with a vengeance and goes late into the night.
