Carmen is currently moored in Toulouse after cruising here with the help of James and Sheila Hawkins. James after several careers is currently an author. But he was originally a chef and really enjoys cooking. He took over in the kitchen and served up food such as you might expect in a top class restaurant. He also served as foredeck hand while Sheila travelled ahead on a bicycle to take the ropes in the locks. (The lockkeepers no longer do this since an American lady sued them when a rope dropped back into the boat hit her in the eye).
We had a lovely cruise.
I am afraid I have been rushed off my feet since getting to Toulouse and haven't had time yet to put up a proper blog. However you can see James' very high standard blog of this time at http://hawkson.travellerspoint.com/

Thank you David for giving us a wonderful time aboard Carmen. We loved every minute. It was truly a most memorable experience.
