Loch Ness

The 20nm long Loch Ness - all the time wind from the wrong direction

The only Nessie we were able to find...

Rude boat-tourists parking at the same time - taking the last space only for them

More funny boat-tourists - this time with an umbrella

After descending the five locks at Fort Augustus we arrived finally on the Loch Ness. Our boat-neighbor from the first time in the canal has his sails already up...

...so we lost no time and started the chase after him - with another sailing boat coming up fast behind us; the regatta has starte ;-)

Our target for the whole day - due to the wind from the front we had to tack every ten minutes...

Attempting every thing to get more speed for the catch up - unconsciously to the rain and cold

Concentrated steering - every mistake meant to loose some meters

Almost there - in the meantime we lost the other boat far behind

Finally more wind - which gave the lighter boat more speed and the distance grew again

Urquhart Castle - had to wach out for all the passenger ferries

Tacking for the 34th time - after seven hours we reached totally exhausted the other end of Loch Ness - couldn't catch up the other boat...

Lovely next day to recover, clean and dray everything
