Caledonian canal

We have now just get through the Caledonian canal. It took us 8 days, because some engine problems we got stuck in Port August for two more days and nights than we had expected. 

We meet a really sweet couple last night that was a really good help. We were thinking of buying the charts for the continuing travel from Corpach to Ireland in Inverness but because we had to hurry up to get to the next bridge before they would close fore the day we thought we could buy this in Fort William instead. But this couple told us that there were no shops where we could buy charts before Oban, and that felt as a to long way to travel without anything...

But as I said they where really nice and in the end we ended up with all the charts we needed and they didn't want anything. Some of the charts was from the late 70s !

They gave us a little card with their address so that we can keep in contact, I love this kind of gentle old people that is still doing there dream! They had been sailing the north sea this summer, in 50 knots wind, that is really rough I will promise. So now they where stuck until they had reapered some things on the boat.

 After beeing stucked in Whitehills for so long it has been really great to be in places where there are people that you can talk to and the canal was calm and nice.

But the weather just gets colder and wetter so we hope to get to the sun as fast as possible!
