In Homps

Moored in Homps right outside the restraunt we went ot the previous 2 tinmes we were here so we had to go again!
Were comparing getting in to locks on the Garonbne and Midi canals today and reckon that althought the midi locks have a narrower entrance and are oval they are probably easier as they do not have sluices letting water out at 90 degrees to the current just before the entrance and thereby knocking you off course at the last moment.
A windy day today which made getting into the locks interesting!  several times we were going forward with the engine in reverse.
