Caledonian Canal 2

Our View back along Loch Ness from Fort Augustus

Sunday, we planned to make our way through to Fort William but we had a very relaxed start at the flight of Locks in Fort Augustus
.
This is where we really started to encounter the hire boats. Some of them were being well cared for, but a few others were definitely worth staying away from. The Lock keepers were very good, and allowed the hire boats to go in first, then the sailing yachts would go in at the back where it was safer.
In the end, we were too late to get out of Loch Oich, so we found a pontoon near to a hotel and tied up for the night.
