A 38-foot sailboat navigates the French canal system, transiting through manual and automatic locks while managing weed-choked waterways. The crew, Wenceslao and Sylvie, encounter dense aquatic vegetation that fouls the keel and rudder, requiring them to stop and rock the boat to clear the debris.6:28 They utilize a beach umbrella mounted at the helm to mitigate extreme heat during long days of canal transit.15:08 The vessel passes over the Digoin canal bridge, an elevated waterway structure, and navigates through a series of locks where water levels are adjusted to match connecting canal heights.18:44 Operational challenges include strict lock operating hours, which force the crew to moor unexpectedly when they arrive near closing time, and limited provisioning opportunities, necessitating careful fuel and supply management.23:33 The crew relies on local operators to manage lock gates and uses thick gloves to clear thorny vegetation from the propeller when necessary.9:15
