Day 1 (April 28th), Crinan Canal


Wake up at 01:00. Everything is prepared so we slowly motoring out of the harbour. It has been 2 good years here in Scotland, but finally I´m on my way back home to Sweden and Gothenburg. The sky is nearly cloud free and there is no problems finding the right way. The wind fades out when we entering Lower Loch Fyne. No issues reaching the sea lock before it´s operated. From the start we are accomplished by another yacht. They have gather friends to help them with the locks. This canal is hand driven, which means that you have to operate the locks by yourself. After 6 hours we reach the sea lock in Crinan. We got some advises from the other skipper of an anchorage just opposite the bay. First we stop at the pier, went for a shower and then heading north to Gallanch Bay. We anchor at 5 meters depth and then dinner with an adoring view.
