8.8 km, 5
locks, 1 hour 45 mins

| Our mooring for the night, tied to fence posts. |
Just a short
hop today so we didn’t leave till 10.45.
The temperature was a bearable 10.5C but totally overcast.
It was an
uneventful trip (thank goodness, yesterday had enough excitement to last a long
time).

| Lesdins |

| We could see inside the lock keepers "office" |
 |
| An old lock keepers house |

| The telecommande we were given yesterday. |
We tied up at the Porte de Plaisance in Saint Quentin at 12.30.
There is a notice with a number to call to
announce your arrival but there is no charge, they just want to know the name
of the boat and how long you are going to stay.
They called back a few minutes later to give us the code to the entrance
gate. This is a very secure marina and
there is a building which apparently has
showers but it is all closed up. We are not sure if this just because of the
time of year or if, in fact, there is no longer any authority taking care of
the place. It is owned by the VNF but I saw somewhere that they are looking for
someone to take it over.
We might
stay here for a day or two.
