Slight drizzle this morning but looks like brightening up.
Got away at 0850, waiting for the Kytra lock to open. A good run through Lock Oich and Loch Lochy with plenty of sketching done. Started raining in Loch Lochy, looks set for the rest of the day. Raining heavily by the time we got to Banavie and Neptunes Staircase (a flight of seven locks). Moored up just before the sealock ready for a quick getaway tomorrow as the Sealock is not tide dependant so we should be able to get through quite early.
Went on a walkabout to find the 'facilities' and a shop, luckily there was a pub right next to the shop so we managed to dry out a bit, how convenient is that!
The skipper made dinner tonight, a belly busting sausage casserole with mash and veg, just what we needed after such a soggy afternoon. A few of the guys wandered off to the pub but as it was chucking it down I decided on an early night. Slept soundly, didn't hear anyone returning from the pub.
