21st July Still in Rochefort

TiGrA in her berth in Rochefort with conservatory as raining.

The chicane. Sharp left and then right. Mind the wall.

The lock

On the right as you enter the lock. Oh the excitement.

These two boats live in the lock so not a lot of room to get through

The muddy waiting pontoon in the river. The other dries completely

The canal

Lots of obstruction

Some really high winds have gone through this week due to a low off Edinburgh!! You might as well blame the Scots! So we are still here. It is warm but yesterday it rained from about Noon till we went to bed and probably all night as well. Thank goodness for the 'conservatory'. We did manage to get out the day before and I took pictures of the harbour. Very tight corners and joined by a canal with a lifting bridge. The lock is only open 20 minutes tomorrow so we will have to get our skates on as soon as the alarm goes for the bridge to lift. Back to La Rochelle and then we will work our way back.
