Summer 2012. 11
Sailing to Loch Linnhe, Enterance to Caledonian Canal

Friday, August 17th :
From Loch Aline to Caledonian Canal enterance :

Just before we were planning to move towards Caledonian Canal, Corpach Sea Loch was closed due to some structural damage for several days and then there was some northerly winds against us, so we waited in Loch Aline more than a week.

When the conditions changed, we left Loch Aline and anchored for an overnight stay in Port Ramsay (Lismore Islands ), then sailed the next day in Loch Linnhe towards the Canal enterance.
