Bar-le-Duc, suburb Fains-les-Sources

With the experience of the last day, we then start to the next destination, but a significantly shorter distance.

Bar-le-Duc would certainly be an interesting place, but the port is located so unfavorably that we decided to drive a few more km. A small, but beautiful berth in Fains-les-Sources was available, there is electricity, water, an Intermarché within walking distance of one kilometer.

Here we wanted to replenish our supplies.

When we arrived at the harbor, there was a welcome drink, Dark Yeast from Franziskaner, ice-cold, thanks to our new inverter the cooling box maintains the temperature throughout the day and we do not depend on shore power.

Meanwhile, another boat joined us, we had already discovered him in the harbor of Bar-le-Duc. Belgians, as it turned out, they would accompany us for a while.

We agreed that we wanted to operate the locks alone. After the first technical failure at the upcoming second lock, this was no longer an issue and from then on we went through the chamber as a pair. He was allowed to enter first and operate the lock, we followed behind, he had the better air for that.

Whether he understood it?
