Well things could be worse. At last the sun is shining. We are now on the River Doubs which is in cow bell distance ( heard them today) of Switzerland. The river is pretty but there are very few places to stop which becomes more of an issue the nearer it gets to lock closing time. The canalised sections of this navigation are in a very poor condition and so it's difficult to moor except where there is a pontoon ( practically nowhere). And even if there is a pontoon, hard luck if you happen to want to tie up on a Sunday. There'll be a fishing competition and there's no arguing with French fishermen. We tried and lost. We've had a long couple of days with every stop already occupied and so lunches on the run.
We are now in Besancon.
English fishermen are just as bad. I hate them!
