23rd to 26th Sept Garnat to Gannay to Decize


Sept 23rd 12 kms, 2 locks, 2 hours.
Internet too slow to upload photos
We moved from Garnat to Gannay (Les Vanneaux).  Having spent 4 days at Garnat with no services, it was time to fill the water tanks so we moved to the free stop at Les Vanneaux, although the little port is called Gannay, although the town of Gannay is 1 km away.  The weather has changed, the heat has gone and autumn has arrived along with some good soaking rain.  Hoorray!  I thoroughly enjoyed strolling to the boulangerie and epicerie, umbrella up, wearing jeans and a jacket.

Les Vanneaux (Gannay) to Decize
18 km 6 locks 5 hours including 1.25 hour stop at a supermarket
Another grey day.  It has rained on and off since Sunday and I have enjoyed every minute of it.  After the max 3 day stop at Les Vanneaux we headed for Decize.  We stopped at the quay on the Canal, upstream of the lock that leads into the Decize Marina and then the Loire River, where there is a big InterMarché supermarket and we needed some fresh vegetables.  It is Brussel spout and pumpkin season, my favourites!
After lunch we passed through the locks on each end of the marina and into the Loire River where we have tied up at the town quay.
