Wenceslao and Sylvie navigate their sailboat north through France on the Rhône–Saône river system, covering roughly 40 locks in a multi-day push toward Lyon. Lock management dominates the transit: one lock required reading a French-language sign from inside the boat before it opened automatically, a neighboring skipper jumped the queue and closed a lock in their faces, and the Saône's larger locks accommodate bigger commercial traffic than the narrow canal sections where two boats barely pass.21:02 The crew notes that some Saône locks are decommissioned and replaced by others at different locations.21:52 Draft is a recurring concern — the boat draws around 50 cm and repeatedly risks touching bottom in shallow sections.4:27 The drone crashes and is recovered a second time using its GPS signal.5:38 Free VNF (Voies Navigables de France) municipal moorings at Mâcon accommodate boats under 15 meters for up to 36 hours.17:40 Stops include a wine-producing village with roughly 30 different producers, the town of Mâcon, and finally Lyon — France's third-largest city — where the crew explores by bicycle and attempts to enter a free evening party, eventually getting in through a miscommunication.11:25 Gearbox oil was changed as part of routine maintenance during the passage.19:14
