Stuck in Walloon


Thought it would be a great idea to have a pre-season trip now the ice has gone.
Leaving Tournai, the little canal de l'Espierres looked like respite from the buffeting of the 'big stuff' so we turned off the main channel and this was as far as we got!
Six hours later a 1500ton vessel bravely managed to get near enough to proffer a rope and pull us off.

  1. Ne pas moi! Was in the bow tho' & didn't hear a thing. Thick mud doesn't give much away.

  2. I saw you "sailing" by yesterday in Gent on the Leie. Thanks for gracing the waters.
