After passing the last lock in Inverness this morning, we are now back in tidal & salty water of the North Sea.
We had one month in Ireland & Scotland and are now heading over to the Baltic Sea, our home waters & territory.
The last month added some memorable highlights to the overall adventure.
We expect landfall in about four days in Denmark or Sweden, depending on wind and weather.
Fair winds…
Two places were on my target list today. The splendid beaches of Nairn at the outskirts of Inverness and Fort George, a fortress build to control the Scottish Highlands but has never seen any battle. Nice ride under the sun!

Among others we have met David and Erik during our passage through the Caledonian Canal. The below two photos have been taken by David, skipper of SY First Sight, currently touring the world with his wife Vicki.
Erik from Noway, not only skipper but also an outstanding solo sailor of his SY Tessie and a blessed youtuber by nature living his passion. Although I follow his fascinating channel for long, I bumped into him on a morning walk at the locks. A nice chat we had while moving his lady through the locks. Safe travels on your future adventures!
Fair winds to all…
I am glad we decided to stay a day longer in Fort Augustus for me to see Loch Tarpp nearby as inspired by Jan. Amazing Highland scenery although some 2.5km stretch required me to push the bike along. Fantastic 🚴♂️!
Fair winds…
Loch Oich and its connecting river present themselves in a more diverse landscape compared to Loch Lochy, the first Loch we passed through on our journey through the Caledonian Canal from West to East. Good 🚴♂️ tarmac!
Fair winds…
After a very nice passage through Loch Oich and its connecting river, we have now safely moored in Fort Augustus under the view of many spectators. This tourist spot is the entry into Loch Ness and Nessie’s legacy.
Fair winds…
We have passed the highest point and started the downhill back to seawater level. 106ft is the highest altitude the lady has every experienced, in cold but nice and sweet waters.
Amazing landscape was the return granted to us including some fog in breaking up clouds showing the sun under partly blue sky. Nice mixture.
Fair winds…
