France - Lagarde

We were to head back to port today and were travelling along nicely until we reached the 16m lock and had to wait for a while. This was only a problem because unfortunately when we went to restart the engine to go into the lock .... well ... it wouldn’t - “bugger” with a very French accent was the word of the afternoon :-). 
The afternoon was passed playing cards, as well as intermittent mechanical and electrical assistance from the people from Lagarde. The plan was that we would jump start the boat in the morning and problem solve once back at Lagarde. 
Jack caught a ride back to Lagarde and retrieved our car so we could leave form there in the morning as we had to be in Fromelles that afternoon.
More cards, laughter, and fun all evening before our final sleep on the boat.
