The CALEDONIAN CANAL all to OURSELVES! - Ep 122
Рет қаралды 15,119
After sailing for 5 days in the North Sea in late Fall, we approach the start of the Caledonian Canal in Inverness Scotland. We motor through the Scottish Canal system, showing the locks and bridges, outline the process of entering the canal, and share the costs associated with transiting the canal in our sailboat during off season.

I found your channel a few months ago and like it so much I have been watching from the beginning of your channel. Whether its the Caribbean or UK / Europe I love that often you show (for a lack of a better term) the back roads... the stuff you don't see on commercial travel shows and in glossy brochures. Your content is great, whether its travel, boat repairs, cooking, and general life, I hope you have the energy to keep it going. Thanks from Australia!

We have gone through the Canal twice in the ‘Scottish Summertime” the first time it was freezing and the second time it was in the low 30 degrees Celsius with the swing bridges unable to operate because the steel had expanded so much in the heat! Regardless of the weather it is always stunningly beautiful there - well done for going through in the winter

Oh wow, both extremes! We definitely didn’t see any 30 degree weather this summer in Scotland, lol. You’re right though, stunningly beautiful!
