    That magnificent scenery came flooding back reminding me of a similar trip through the Caledonian. That was in 1997 when good old Blakes Hire of Norfolk had a small fleet of yachts at Laggan. With my wife and 3 young kids we had a Moody 28 named 'Arrow' for a week in May. We were pretty lucky with the weather, but often had all four seasons in one day! Great video Sam, looking forward to the next already.

      Thanks for watching, there were quite a lot of canoes and power boats on the canal, i didnt see any sailing boats for hire. Would be my choice.

    Truly beautiful! In 1992 I climbed Ben Nevis and was later told it means head in cloud... All the locks...but the scenery is worth it. Fair winds to you!

    Thanks, you shared the video 👍. It is wonderful to admire nature, especially the famous Caledonian Canal, which I observed only from the top of the Ben Nevis. This will be a sailing trip I have planned this season... 🙂

    Hi Sam!
    Epic landscape! Travelled the Caledonian Canal east to west and anchored at Urquhart Castle on my 'around Britain and Irland' sailing trip about 20 years ago, a sailing journey to remember. My best wishes for your 'around Britain' project. Eberhard from 'Långe Orm', JBC 2023

    You've had to use your outboard quite a lot. Any idea how many litres per hour you are using on average?
