This season I have managed a bunch of maintenance but very little sailing. Indeed only 3 days.

At last now we get the chance to move my ship from Ardrishaig (near to Lochgiphead) back to (very close to) my much-missed Loch Ness. We have two canals and some seawater passages to plan.

We are watching the weather and the tides but things do not look too bad for the next week....

It is a bit late in the season, but I trust the wind will not let us down.

It will be good to get back to Loch Ness again. It is a two hour drive. The current 6 hour drive is too far, really.

Here is to Loch Ness again.... this is Caledonian Canal.... albeit from a hired motor cruiser.....

If ever one of your American boats makes it to here, look me up.

I will stand you a beer, and you can have a sail on Loch Ness. We can find you some mist too, and perhaps a monster.

Sounds amazing! Are you looking for crew? I'm up for a change.

Alas, I've had even less sailing than you this season. Our boat's trip to our winter "home" won't be quite as scenic, either. Hope your trip is great; fair winds!

Looks like it'll be a scenic trip, weather allowing . I regret not having visited Scotland (I'm British, but now in the US). I hope that you enjoy the trip.

Sounds absolutely amazing. How big a boat can get up the canal to the Loch? That would be a fun trip after a TransAt.
