SFS UK2020 ep9 - Along the Canal, Up the Ben and Down to Oban
In this episode we complete out short trip through the caledonian canal as far as possible before getting interupted by some roadworks.
This meant we had oportunity to climb Ben Nevis which was a fantastic oportunity not to be missed.... even if it did hurt the day after.
We end this episode on Kerrera Island which is, without doubt, just beautiful.

Sailing south from Hartlepool toward Grimsby on his final leg to Plymouth, the channel documents raw coastal seamanship, tidal navigation, and DIY diesel repairs.
