The Flying Dutchman At The Corran Narrows

An overcast morning was livened up with a breakfast of Haggis, fried tomatoes and toast. Slipping our mooring, we made relaxed progress through still water to Fort William passing the Flying Dutchman going in the opposite direction through the Corran Narrows. By late afternoon we were tied up in Corpatch Basin at the foot of Neptune's Staircase. Tramontana was scheduled to climb the staircase at 8 am the following day.
