It was a nice sunny day so Cath and I decided to try a bit of sailing/steering/driving a boat along the Saône. We had spotted a company that let you take a boat out without a licence at Confluence so after a very brief chat about the rules of the waters and how to drive the thing, we took to the waters.
It was quite straightforward to be fair, stay on the right, go under the yellow triangles on bridges and steer the whole time.
We only took the boat for an hour so we had time to travel up the Saône to Vieux Lyon and then we had to turn back. We saw some lovely sights on the way.
It did get a bit choppy when another boat went past – our little craft got tossed about a bit. But it was great fun and a nice way to see the city. We even saw my place of work on the way back.
I also learnt a new word – le point mort – neutral gear. I learnt it just in time.
Thrown to (the) Lyon 
Sounds so great !!!
