Micha sails his Bavaria through the Caledonian Canal in Scotland, navigating the length of Loch Ness before ascending the five-stage lock flight at Fort Augustus.8:08 During the transit of Loch Ness, he encounters light winds of approximately eight knots, requiring him to tack frequently.7:57 He notes a technical limitation with his 140% genoa, which cannot pass between the forestay and a second inner forestay; he must roll the sail, tack, and redeploy it on the new course.7:35 Communication with lock and bridge operators occurs on VHF channel 74.5:48 Upon reaching Fort Augustus, he navigates the five-stage lock system, where he observes that the lock walls lack ladders in the center, complicating line handling.14:09 He experiences frustration with the pace of other boaters and the crowded tourist environment, ultimately choosing to prioritize a slower, more deliberate transit over the hurried pace of nearby motorboats and charter vessels.18:35
