Day 3 Laggan Locks to Fort William
Day 4 Fort William to Oban
 |
| Three days sailing through the Caledonian Canal |
Day 3 Laggan Locks to Fort William
 |
| Loch Lochy was beautiful. We soon got the sails up and although progress was slow we had a lovely sail the length of the Loch |
 |
| Mountains run either side making a spectacular backdrop. Scotland is far bleaker than even Arctic Norway and feels more forbidding |
 |
| A clear view of Ben Nevis |
 |
| The approach to Gairlochy |
 |
| By now we are getting pretty good at the lock thing |
 |
| The short stretch of canal between Loch Lochy and Neptunes Staircase was easy going |
 |
| We arrived at about 1615 in the afternoon at Fort William. Unfortunately we were told it was too late to travel down through Neptunes Staircase. This was the only disappointing part of the trip where it did feel like the Canal Staff were being a little 'jobsworth'. However, the fickle finger of fate kicked in and it transpired that we had a better berth on the upside of the canal and caught up the time next day with a more favourable tide anyway |
