Friday Julie and Donald arrived on board at 2 pm
and we set off at 2.30 making our way along the Canal as far as Fort Augusus
where we stayed the night.
Saturday. continued along the Canal getting to the
top of Neptune's staircase in heavy rain. where understandably the lock keeper
took an early bath!.
Sunday. Set off down the staircase at 8am in 30
knot winds and rain like Anglesey stair rods went down 8 locks,a road bridge, a
rail bridge and two more locks arriving in Corpach Basin by 10am.Donald dashed
off to catch a bus home intending to be there in time for a BBQ !! We have spent
the day in Corpach basin with the winds up to 40 knots and relentless rain. the
forcast is marginally better for Monday. we will believe it when we see
it.
