Sailing Scotland's Caledonian Canal | Sailing Florence Ep.209
Running through the central heart of the Scottish highlands lies a 200 year old canal, designed to provide a short-cut for sailing ships of old from Scotland’s west coast to the north sea, avoiding the treacherous Pentland Firth and Cape Wrath. 22 miles of canal and 29 locks were dug to link 3 natural lochs, creating a 60 mile waterway across the country.
We’re on a voyage through it’s charms and scenery, keeping an eye out for the famous Loch Ness Monster and sailing past Britain’s tallest mountain, as we take our 11 meter sailboat Florence to 32 meters above sea level and travel 60 miles through the center of Scotland on the Caledonian Canal.

We have sailed over 60,000 ocean miles around the world including a complete circumnavigation on our 37ft boat, Florence. After 9 years of experience sailing in the tropics, this series presents a new challenge and a chance to learn new skills as we sail north to the Arctic. Join us as we share the highs, lows, and challenges of travelling around the world by boat, sailing offshore across oceans and exploring remote locations.
