We see the Ile Saint Louis and in the background left the towers of Notre Dame. In the foreground we see one of the famous bateau mouche, the Paris sightseeing boats, turn.

We wait for the green light to pass the lock allowing to enter the Canal St. Martin and the port Arseal. The waves from the bateau mouche reach us exactly when the light turns green. We sway left and right like on an ocean liner. While aunt Rita downstairs makes sure that nothing falls from the stove I'm fighting current and waves and try to enter the lock without hitting any walls (yes I succeed).
