We set of about 10 am (see earlier captain’s note- crews note get stuffed!!) for the final assault on Paris. Very soon the landscape became more industrial and soon we were in the Paris suburbs. While less than 15k as the crow flies from the centre we had 45k to motor. There were some interesting sights especially among the numerous live-aboard boats. Will have to screw Alison's head back on it spun around so much trying to see everything.
Only two locks to negotiate today the large one at Suresnes coming into Paris and the small one to enter the Paris Arsenal marina, which is actually a section of canal itself right in the middle of Paris. We were soon given a space and able to settle down before going for a short local walk. Unfortunately Alison hurt her knee again getting off the boat to tie up. We are moored next to Fantastico again on one side and two Aussie couples on the other (extremely jealous of their imported barbeque, but were given a lesson in the mystical art as compensation!)
