The remainder of the journey to Paris was simply hard work, particularly for the crew. Unlike the Thames and other UK rivers, 90% of the traffic was commercial barges. As a result, the majority of moorings were designed for them and totally unusable by small boats like Jomima. The only mooring facilities, for small boats in transit, were badly neglected and without the stated power and usable water. However, I will provide a few details of some of the more interesting things we encountered during the remaining four days of the journey to Paris.
