Sailing Britaly's boat, which draws 1.65 metres, crosses from Belgium into France via the inland waterway system, departing Dinant and mooring overnight in Givet, just below the Pont des Américaines.14:30 Departure from Dinant uses a single midship spring line with the river current to swing the bow clear before casting off.2:03 At the first French lock, the lock keeper warns the crew that the maximum permitted draft on their intended route to the Mediterranean is 1.4 metres — 25 centimetres less than the boat's draft — citing low water levels.11:25 Chris had verified the route that morning using the VNF route calculator with the boat's draft entered, and the VNF website showed no depth restrictions.11:48 The primary route is confirmed unavailable; an alternative route remains open, though a further diversion may be required depending on rainfall.13:16 The crew buys a French vignette at the border lock.10:25 In Givet, they moor free of charge on the non-service bank and run the boat's first barbecue, fitting a €7.50 stainless-steel grill into the existing barbecue bracket.14:54 The next leg will include the crew's first inland tunnel passage, described as narrow and unlit, where the depth sounder reads 1.5 metres against the boat's 1.65-metre draft.18:02
