Waters and Wines of North Burgundy. Vezelay
We came back from beautiful, but very wet Vezelay and our Châtel-Censoir left Châtel-Censoir.
Came under the rain in Coulanges-Sur-Yonne, where landed overnight.
In the morning moved to Calmecy, where a long walk was planned.
At this part of the canal, in the addition to the lock, a new type of hindrance appeared – a draw bridge. I mastered a new profession of bridge operator. Fortunately, opposite to the locks, we can deal with bridges ourselves.
Bring the boat to the small landing before the bridge, I jump off, run to the bridge, and push a big button until the bridge completely opening. Wail until the boat pass.
After pushing the big button again, until the bridge closes. The barge goes to the landing after the bridge and I jump on.
Sometimes the captain didn’t care to pick me up, and I walked till next the next lock. Anyway, the batch didn’t have a chance to pass the lock before I reach it.
Some locks have very unusual keepers.
