Spent the day getting the licence to get onto the canals, food shopping, simm card shopping (no luck), squeezing as much diesel & water as we could on board and generally getting soaking wet in the rain. They don’t sell fresh milk in Calais and you have to buy stamps at the railway station?
All set for high tide at 0802 tomorrow when the bridge opens and we can lock into basin carnot and out the other side into the canal system. Saved a load of money by not buying the five Navicarte maps that show us the route from here to the med as they also don’t sell them here in Calais! We have a small scale map showing the whole of France, with parts of Holland, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy so if no one hears from us again we might be somewhere there.
