	We leave Arles and driver up-river past a ship dredging the silt off the Rhone bed.
	And turn back down into the Little Rhone
	No moment is wasted so our teacher gives Betty a lesson in knots to tie up the barge. Her favorite knot is the Fiirabigchnopf, that's the knot you use to tie up the boat after a good days work. I think however that Thomas has given up to teach proper terms, as Betty still tries to lasso the rope John Wayne style around the bollards.
	Monday is obviously busier in the St Gilles lock than Saturday. Today we share the lock with a commercial barge and about 8 smaller pleasure boats.
	While passing the quiet lowlands of the Camargue we see many places where reeds are cut to shape and used for thatched roofs.
	Our mooring just outside Aigues Mortes. The corner tower of the fortification is visible under the bridge.
	The medieval town of Aigues Mortes was used as the base for three crusades by King Louis of France. Today it is a great tourist attraction as the walls are still intact all around the town.
	Baleines is a local company extracting salt from the Mediterranean sea by flooding an area of about 28 square km (about 12 square miles) each spring and waiting until September, after all water has evaporated, to earn the salt.
	In the evening it started to rain and we received neighbors. To the amazement (and shock?) of our teacher they tied up backwards, sticking their nose into the middle of the canal. To make sure however that they wouldn't create a problem for navigation they kept the navigation lights turned on all night.
