This was our view from the back deck of our neighbor Gilles' boat, Lisa-Belle, as we headed off towards the Marne, destination Chez Fifi for another "Sortie Guinguette" where we would celebrate Gilles' birthday.
We were a flotilla of 3 yacht club boats, each carrying a group of friends, and stopping along the way to pick up others. The boats were small enough that we could enter the locks together from the Arsenal to Neuilly-sur-Marne, where we arrived late afternoon. This is what happened next.
