Rhine holds at 19 centimeters at Kaub

The Elbe at Dresden came up five centimeters overnight, to 61. The Rhine at Kaub held at 19 centimeters, unchanged from yesterday, while the Danube at Pfelling slipped three centimeters to 235. Both of those rivers are low enough that this week reads 1 percent as planned on the Rhine and 3 percent on the Danube, which in practice usually means lighter loading or a coach link to a sister ship past the shallow stretch. December eases to 41 percent as planned on the Rhine and 71 percent on the Elbe.
