Another early start this morning to tackle the Gabcikovo canal and lock. It’s a newish canal which runs parallel to the true Danube for ~30 kms. Made it through after a 2 hr wait which was to allow regular shipping through. Great to have got this lock dealt with as the next one is the Iron Gates in about 900km time. Locks have been our killer! Traffic on the river is definitely picking up now but there still plenty of evidence of the recent floods.
