The images presented were taken in the 1990's. Taken as prints, there is degradation when going from print to digital images. Also, where we were traveling sometimes delayed processing for weeks or months and humidity played havoc with the undeveloped film. Still, I wanted to share our experiences through the pictures we took.
July 1997. High on our "to do" list was to transit the Caledonian Canal in Scotland. One interesting feature of the Canal was Loch Ness. Lori was probably more excited about that than Carl, but, hey, if we happen to see "something" on the way through--how cool! The main difference would be--Lori would have the camera ready just in case. We hung out in Oban until we were ready to start our transit. We spent 7 days making our way through the locks, stopping at Fort Augustus, anchoring in Lock Ness and near Uhrquardt castle, and others. We debated if we should spend the winter here or carry on to Norway. In the end, we kept going. Norway was calling us. We found the Canal had great amenities and was secure. The Canal had 29 locks, (8 in one place called Neptune's Staircase), 8 aquaducts, and 10 bridges. We shared some locks with other boats and some we went alone. We could easily have spent more than the seven days we took to make the transit. Comments are closed.
