Our Location

	The church of Homps
	I guess we always wanted to moor in the green, but dismantling the wheelhouse around a fruit-tree is a little bit too much.
	The aqueduct of Argent-Double,
	not much water in the river below, but we like the nice weather! Not having rain for the last two months causes not only the rivers to dry out, but also causes problems with feeding the canal. In some places the water level is very low and we have to make sure we don't get too close to the banks.
	There is therefore currently no need for the overflows like the one one before laredorte
	It is really nice to driver in the shadow of the trees,
	but not under these trees. The left bank (yes right is left as we drive up-stream) of the canal is hardly visible.
	We are still driving through the Minervois wine region.
	With all the sun it hopefully will be a good year!
	Thanks to our visitor David we have some pictures of one of the many wineries.

	They not just make wine, they also have a museum showing old wine-making tools.

	Back to the canal flowing directly below the winery.
	Alligators in the Canal du Midi?
	Some lockkeepers sell their own product and regional wines
	other tend to the flowers ....
	and others a creative with the drift-wood!

	One last lock and we are done for the day and
	tie up in Marseillette and
	(after dinner) watch the sun set.
