Wayfarer FTW It's Loch guys 
Looks like Richard is indeed afraid of Nessie as he is about to exit the Loch. The Caledonian Canal is beautiful I got to anchor in Loch Ness one night. It's was pretty eerie you know, just wondering, what if....!

Awesome news!
Will Richard be dauntlessly trawling for Nessie?
The World Wonders....

Richard and Dauntless could take on Nessie with one arm and one paravane tied behind them. They are fearless.

Loch Ness is "Locked" at both ends...Inverness and at Fort Augustus at western end. It used to be land-locked until the locks were built. At western end the locks take boats into Loch Long and Loch Lochie before exiting to the sea at Loch Linnie and Fort William, if I remember correctly.
Scotland has both fresh water lochs, as in Loch Lomand, and salt water lochs, as in Loch Linnie. The above three, mentioned first, are all part of the Caledonian Canal, which effectively splits Scotland in two.

You mean the Haggis? Plenty of them. I haven't heard of a Nessie sighting in many years!!

I see that he has made it to Dublin. He must be totally exhausted. Richard, Is this going to be your winter home or are you heading furture south in Ireland? Great job making it there!
