The cabin lights were changed to LED . The 24v batteries were replaced and we asked for the alternator to be serviced (more of this later) The electrical fault on theleeboards was fixed, but there is now a leak in the hydraulics so still no leeboards!
The planned cruise for June 2013 was cancelled because of the death of David's father, so it was September before we returned to continue our journey down the Saone.
CORRE MARINA
We found this to be a friendly and well-run marina. It is Swiss run, with many Swiss boats using the canal connection with the Rhone. The marina is well sheltered and boats are moored between posts so they float up and down in the Spring floods which can be considerable. There is a cafe/bar which we made good use of, and facilities ashore that were clean and well maintained.
The down side is that Corre has no public transport at all - no train and no bus. The owner will collect and drop you at the nearest station on request. It is a very long drive from anywhere, and if you come by car you still have to collect it later by public transport .
