That is cool! I have only conquered just a couple of locks in my sailing career, and honestly...they are always super stressful as everything is tight and narrow and also with tons of other boats around.
But getting the sailboat into scotland? Damn, that must be a dream with the landscapes over there (and quite the challenge reaching over there because of the big difference in high tigh and low tide)
I should have posted this video of Erik going through. It just looks such an amazing journey for a sailboat to do. You don't see many sailboats inland, especially under sail as they pass through the lochs.
The tides around Scotland create many races through the narrow sounds with currents getting up to 4 or 5 knots in places so timing is everything, I presume.
Here, the lockkeepers are marvellous. The skipper just has to keep the boat against the wall and they do all the work!
Thanks so much for dropping by and I hope you had a lovely weekend :-)
