Navigation in Anjou is easily done with a few <strong>common sens rules<\/strong> along with <strong>some signs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Speed<\/strong> ? 10 km\/hour (6mph) on the river (our boats have the same speed limit) ; 4 km\/h (2mph) near locks and marinas<\/li><li><strong>Should\u00a0I\u00a0stay\u00a0on\u00a0the\u00a0left\u00a0or\u00a0right\u00a0hand\u00a0side<\/strong> ?

We only step a bit on the right when crossing another boat.<\/li><li><strong>How\u00a0do\u00a0priorities\u00a0work<\/strong> ? In a narrow space (bridge\/canal) ; it&#8217;s the boat that is the least manoeuvering that has priority (for example : a passenger boat). For two equivalent boats : it&#8217;s the one going down the river that has priority. In a lock ; priority is for the boat coming on the opened side of the lock (logical !).<\/li><li><strong>Are there specific hours to navigate ?\u00a0<\/strong>Yes ! Going through a lock can be done from 9AM till 8PM during high season (April to October) and from 9AM till 5PM for the rest. Outside of a lock, you can navigate during the day only.<\/li><li><strong>A\u00a0few\u00a0signs\u00a0worth\u00a0remembering<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"910\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.anjou-navigation.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/panneau-initiation-eng.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8075\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.anjou-navigation.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/panneau-initiation-eng.jpg 910w, https:\/\/www.anjou-navigation.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/panneau-initiation-eng-300x264.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.anjou-navigation.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/panneau-initiation-eng-768x675.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lock Manoeuver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some images are worth a thousand words !
