Description

The full story:

With a superbly equipped Bavaria 46 we set off on a three-month voyage in nine stages across three seas. Our starting point is Wendtorf near Kiel in the Baltic Sea. Our route leads through the Great Belt and the Danish archipelago to Oslo. We continue through the Skagerrak to the Norwegian fjords and on to Bergen. From there we cross the North Sea westwards, reach the Shetland Islands and finally arrive in the North Atlantic at the Faroe Islands, our northernmost destination. We then head south to the Orkney Islands and through the Scottish Hebrides. We pass through the Caledonian Canal with the famous Loch Ness, and turn our attention to the local whisky distilleries, before the longest offshore leg awaits us: the return across the North Sea to Gothenburg and finally back into the Baltic Sea to Wendtorf.

This trip:

After departure we sail past the Isle of Skye to the entrance of the Caledonian Canal, which runs through the majestic Highlands.
The passage to the canal will require at least one night sail.
At night we will use a watch system so that every crew member gets enough rest.
The Caledonian Canal, a masterpiece of engineering, awaits us with its picturesque (29!) locks and impressive (10) bridges.
The complete passage through the canal will take 3–5 days, depending on the pace we want to keep.
The locks are open daily from 08:00 to 17:00.
We sail through a breathtaking setting of deep lochs, lush valleys and rugged mountains.
Along the way we discover highlights such as the famous Loch Ness, whisky distilleries, and enjoy the tranquillity and adventure of this unique waterway.

Having reached the northern end of the canal, we finish our trip in the beautiful city of Inverness.
