Here’s the translation, so Cat Typist doesn’t have to do my work again:

16.8. Rain in the morning (as expected)
“And everything is already tucked away! How clever we are.”
We have a fan club. “Are you twins?”
Also, we’re really motivated. “At least we have no midges.” – “Lovely to be all alone on the water!” – “And perfect weather to cover some distance!”
Self-service water locks are everywhere around here. Usually some kids play lock operators. But not today. And the lock doesn’t like us…
“Can you come help me?” – “Don’t worry, that’s how it’s supposed to be.”

You’ll have to deal with that cliffhanger… see you on Wednesday!
