Canal du Midi – Castelnaudry to Bram September 6, 2022September 6, 2022 — Posted inTravel — 1 min read Since it is our first day on the canal, this post will be an overview of what we saw and did. Sep 4, 2022 Morning at the boat basin On our way Goodbye Castelnaudry Our first lock Exiting the lock Tied off in a lock Everyone uses the charts to know what is next Canal view We went through 18 locks today Lunch on the canal, too windy to eat outside Lights tell when to enter a lock Jeff reviewing what the afternoon will bring Each lock (ecluse) has a sign The water really pours into the locks Automatic lock, one person gets off the boat and follows the directions Blue button, enter lock, green button lower water level, then exit We heard “Duck Your Heads” over and over Many of the huge plane trees have died and were cut down The huge trees would hang over the canal and shade it Happy Hour begins in Bram Jeff had the helm through all the locks, a very tiring job, but with great thanks from all of us Sunset on the canal
