A quick stop at Heathergems in Pitlochry, prior to our Inverness departure and Caley Cruisers adventure saw more rain falling. Before taking control of Highland Glen3 there was a very comprehensive handover and steering tuition, with the newbie skipper scoring 9 out of 10 our little convoy headed out thru the first locks and out onto Loch Ness. The weather had deteriorated and with mist descending we headed for 2 hours to Urquart Bay,next to the castle. A magnificent meal was prepared by Executive Chef Hazel and the weather improved dramatically. Blue skies here we come !
