¿Qué cubre este video?
Micha transits the Caledonian Canal in Scotland aboard his yacht, navigating from the Highlands toward the Irish Sea. The journey involves managing multiple locks, including the transition from upward to downward stages, and navigating narrow, tree-lined sections of the canal. He anchors in Castle Bay near the ruins of Invergarry Castle and the wreck of the *Elerbahn*, a former herring trawler. Throughout the transit, he utilizes a power station to bake bread while managing battery consumption, noting that solar and wind power are more efficient for high-draw appliances. Upon reaching the final stages of the canal, he encounters Neptune’s Staircase, an eight-step lock flight at Banavie, followed by four additional locks leading to the sea lock. He concludes the canal passage at Banavie, the final mooring point before entering the salt water of the Irish Sea, while planning a future route toward the Outer Hebrides.
