Afternoon sailing and eating

Published on by rphbaker

We returned to the boat just in time for lunch. We sat in our favorite spot with our favorite people.

The corn soup came highly recommended so I had to try it. Wasn’t bad!
BLT salad paled in comparison to Drake’s
Good thing I had this lunch dessert to fill me up after my okayish salad.

While we were eating we passed through the narrowest lock along the canal. Which honestly became a theme for the day.

The canal was so calm and peaceful and we were passing beautiful scenery. These boats are so quiet and smooth it’s just insane.

Cows!

At 3:30pm they had planned a tea and pastry event. That’s just what we needed after our late lunch.

Jane and Paul scored the much sought after rocking chairs on the front of the boat.
Weird birds
Jane suggested I bring over another rocking chair from the other side of the boat. I sat with them while Greg worked.
There was a speedboat parked in the canal in our path. Our captain honked and they eventually sped away. Made us a little nervous they weren’t going to move for a second.

Interesting to me sport is sport. This sign is seen at lots of locks I guess telling the small boats to go to the other side. I’m not sure if they park or go through different locks.
This barge looks like it’s going to crash into us
The barge got all the way over against the wall. Also ducks!
Lots of birds in this tree. The boat is so quiet you can hear the birds chirping

After a lovely afternoon with perfect weather and way too much food and a quick talk about why we should book our next cruise and all the savings we would get if we do it was time for dinner. There is definitely not a lack of food here.

Admittedly this cruise has exceeded my expectations. I’d be totally open to another cruise. Choosing when and where would be the hard part.

Somehow I can’t remember to take pics of my food not that anyone actually cares. I captured the important part, dessert, because lord knows I haven’t had enough of that.

I had the asparagus soup which was good, and the turkey followed by the apple crumble pie. We laughed about the dessert called luke warm creamy pudding cake and Greg decided to try it for the hell of it. He made a bad decision (or good since he didn’t eat it.)

After dinner it was back up to the lounge for a concert by Gavin. He brought all his best show-tunes for 45 mins. My perfect concert. One that ends at 9:45pm!

We have a later start tomorrow but a full day making a trip to a small town Rothenburg ob de Tauber. Oh and probably lots of eating.
