This was my fourth charter on the canals of France, and the first with all-women. Four of us enjoyed a LeBoat charter, boarding at Saint-Jean-de-Losne on Aug 20 and dropping off at Branges on Aug 30. We visited 9 other towns by water, including Dole, Seurre, Verdun-sur-le-Doubs, Beaune (inland, so taxi), Gergy, Chalon-sur-Saone, Tournus, Cuisery, Louhans. Plus two of us road our bikes 37 miles roundtrip to visit Chagny. We were on the Saone and Seille Rivers, and the Canal du Rhone au Rhin.

I enjoyed being captain of Miss Anne for one of our summer camps. We had 3 campers on board learning about how trees and plantings help filter pollutants to keep our waters cleaner.

Such a beautiful August day. My best friend since 5th grade, Robin, joined me for the first tour. Then later my dear friend and former business partner, Barbara, and a few more friends joined me for another tour. Such fun!
