The week before our trip to France and cruising on the River Lot in SW France with the Little Ship Club, we learned that there was a planned rail strike for the week of our travel that would not affect us (as we decided to rent a car) but it would affect our crew members and their arrive to Cahors. Then the Sunday before our planned Wed. departure we learned of a planned strike by Paris Air Traffic Controllers but not to worry as it was focused on the short distance flights and Trans Atlantic would not be impacted... Wrong. Monday morning we had a call from Useless Air that the flight had been cancelled and after working with them found that the best we could do was to leave a day early for Frankfurt. After confirming with Grace Giraldo, who was joining Barb and I, that this was doable we cancelled our car in Paris and booked on in Frankfurt. We were just about to leave on Tuesday when Useless Air called to say that the Paris flight was back on and did we want to switch back. No way, there were bound to be disruptions on Paris and lets just get there. over 1,000 km of driving and on night's stop, we arrived in Cahors. In fact all of out crew had made it. Who would have thought that Air and Land Nav would have been the most difficult parts?
