After a no wind passage up Loch Linnie, Alcyone arrived early afternoon at the Corpach Sea Loch at the entrance to the Caledonian Canal. Because of tide restrictions to operate the gates, we had a short wait on the pontoon outside the loch before locking through into the basin for the night. At least for this cruise, this was the last of the western isles. It certainly has magnificent scenery and a huge number of anchorages and harbours; an excellent cruising ground. But as we sailed up the loch, there were long pondering discussions as to how to photograph the area to give an impression of its grandeur and magnificence. The most helpful suggestion, from the crew, was a helicopter hovering at 40 feet!
