We now have our own version of three men in a boat as Gertie undertakes some inland water sailing.

The last three days have seen brilian weather, the first wo sailing Moray Firth with a stop at Cromaty.

Yesterday we entered the canal, and have stayed night at seaport marina in the Muirtown basin; that being the Inverness end of the Caly canal.
