Looking at the forecast for tomorrow I think it should be OK for me to get the 30 miles from Oban to Corpach to enter the Caledonian Canal so that is the plan.

I have a bit of a tight schedule tomorrow… the fuel is at Puffin Dive Centre which is about 3 miles south of Oban Marina but I am going north, it doesn’t open until 10am but I have to get to Corpach Sea Lock by about 1300hrs as it closes in the afternoon because of low spring tides. It should be easy to make that schedule but I don’t have much scope for slippage so I will be up and away at 9.30 so I am first in the queue for fuel.

Weather tomorrow is expected F4. The low pressure system is hanging around so the weather may not change much for a few days until that moves on but once I am in the canal the weather is a little less critical so I can relax a little then.

I am expecting to take at least 2 full days, perhaps 3 or 4, to get through the canal so I aim to be in Inverness by Thursday.

As usual… more tomorrow morning.
