Week 6 - Wednesday - Loch Ness Monster

What an amazing day.....we actually saw the Loch Ness Monster!

After cramming into the locks at Fort Augustus with other boats, we entered Loch Ness.

The French boat ahead of us showed great skills, especially as they both had a glass of red wine in their hands throughout the 5 locks!

We motored along the 22 mile length of the loch against the wind as ever! I watched enviously as yachts coming the other way sailed past us.

We anchored at Dores, which is at the head of the Loch and had tea.

We sat in the cockpit and as it it got dark we heard a loud rushing of water. Turning round we saw a strange shape in the water. "It's the monster!"

We both watched as it moved menacingly towards us, intent on destruction. Jim leant across to me and said "You're gonna need a bigger boat!"

Amazingly though it then ignored us, slid past and disappeared into the murky depths.

What an experience!

We managed to get photographs and were amazed to notice that it had a yellow head.

This is the first sighting of the yellow headed monster and we were very excited.

We notified the local authorities and the press, so are currently awaiting their arrival.

Watch out for us on the news!

  1. Judging by the angle of the picture you have been tasting that whisky again.......Andy I thought the sea toilet was for emergencies only! BH

  2. Well I for one am convinced. As you know, i expressed a certain amount of scepticism about the existence of the Monster, but now i have seen a photo of a yellow floaty C in the Loch, I stand corrected.

    Not a lot to occupy you in the evening?
