We chose to stay in Longueil-Annel for the day and crack on with some jobs on the boat. In intense heat we sanded and re-varnished the kitchen windows, scrubbed the decks and greased some bits down in the engine room!
The canal was busy all day with commercial traffic but ground to a halt by 7pm, as did the village. Not a sound, not a movement anywhere.
Andy inflated a dinghy for the boys and set them adrift in the canal whilst he swam around them in an effort to cool off. One by one, like lemmings, we all joined him in the water for a swim. The village watched in silence as the Bailey family cavorted noisily in the canal.
