(posted by Emily)  Monday 30 June  Daily step count: somewhere around 9,000 (two faulty apps today) Today, we went out on the canals and practiced driving, mooring, and working the boat! So much fun--Rick is clearly a natural! Also took care of general maintanence like emptying the toilet tank, filling the gas, and the water.  pumping out the "blackwater" tank--aka the septic tank this is the pump--you put in a token, and it sucks out all the bad stuff Rick taking us up to the lock Filling the lock heading in to the second lock Other highlights? Hanging with Dobby the French Bulldog, feeding baby ducks, and cigars after dinner :) Tomorrow we're off sailing again! Can't wait to see how far we get! --E&R
