Ouistreham to Caen

The canal from Ouistreham to Caen is about 8 miles long and rather fun in a sailing boat. There are three bridges that need to be lifted on the way and the nice man from the marina follows you down in his Renault van and lets you through them in turn.


The first bridge is Pegasus Bridge. It was the first bridge that was captured by the Allies. It wasn't quite as busy (or scary) as we passed through:

And finally we made it into Caen:

Not sure what this was all about, but it was quite fun!
