Seasons Greetings
I would just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in our community a Happy Christmas and New Year! I sincerely hope you are all keeping well these winter months. This year hasn’t been without its challenges – navigating through Covid and then the surprise closure of the Canal in Spring – but we did our best to make it back to smooth waters.
As you can see from the photo we are getting our fair share of winter conditions here in the Highlands. Nighttime temps have dipped down to around -15 degrees C, and we had ice forming in the canal. Good thing we got the work done on the Ros Crana when we did!

We’re just now busy finalising the 2024 Calendar which we will post up on our website in the next week. There are a few changes in the works, and we will keep you all abreast of those as they take shape!
In our spare time, we’ve also been doing some navigation sessions with Josh and Chris with a view to getting skipper qualifications in the next year. So best of luck to them with their studies and training!
This past Friday we braved the icy temps to take the crew, who work hard making these cruises possible, out for a meal in Fort William then onto Fort William’s “premier” nightclub for a little boogie. Unfortunately our bosun Andy made a valiant effort to join us, but the weather had other ideas (see photo below).

Once again, Happy Holidays wherever you may be in the world, stay safe and see you in 2023!
All the best,
Martin & The Crew
