Time to head home

From Nogent, the navigable limit of the Seine for Antiope, we headed downstream to join the Yonne river, and turned south towards Migennes and Simon Evans boatyard where Antiope will sleep for the winter.

Nogent-sur-Seine was a great place to rest up for a week before the task of wrapping up for the winter.
