Found the H2O office and Florence to ask about winter moorings for 2019. They can provide all we need so we will probably go with them. St Jean is a good place to start from with several waterways to explore.
We visited the old lady's book swap and met some more helpful people - the whole town is geared up to boating of course. I was able to take a book despite not having one to swap as I haven't finished my current read yet. It was suggested I bring a swap next time we are here, which I will. 2019?
Drive to couple of other villages in the vicinity, quiet peaceful deserted places. One had a large table set up by the river however, where lots of people were congregating and chatting. Seemed the only thing on the table was melon and coca cola though.
Had dinner at restaurant we had wanted last night. Very nice on waterfront in 32 degrees of heat. Storm clouds gathered and lightening appeared on horizon but never got to us.
Met a couple from Melbourne on the walk back who had come to pick up their boat, Eureka 1. They have been doing this for years and I queried what it was that attracted kiwis and ozzies to come to France for boating. She replied that there was nothing like it for them at home - only sea. And on these waterways there are mooring places every 10k or so that are lovely places to stop.
