Sun 5.8.12. Vilaine River, Rieux.
I round one last bend in the river to arrive at Redon.
At this stone quay, almost 30 miles inland, the navigable river ends...
...and the canal system begins.
Redon is an historic market town...
...and watery crossroads.
I've walked up from Rieux along the river bank...
... making full use of the tree cover...
... as thundery squalls sweep through. The weather is due to settle from tomorrow. My first move will be to take Stargazer out through Cran bridge and Arzal lock.
Then we'll anchor in the mouth of the Vilaine, at Trehiguier, overnight; cross the bar at high water the following morning; and put to sea.
