Tell you something you may not know. The rise through upsy locks is extraordinary, a body of water controlled. Then the down-the-stairs feel as you descend to the wide mouth of Loch Ness. Ok, that's one thing, two actually, but how you traverse this is not the whole picture. The thought and the planning that goes into every minute detail is diverse, dynamic and delicious. From Emma and back (for she is the pilot) we have Captain 'Calm' who deals with everything on board, Ash who makes light of all her work as steward, Will, guide, who knows the over and under story and Jordan who should cook for heaven, all of them showing such grace. I loved watching each member of this team step out of their roles when required. For any unsure of bumpy seas, this one is for you. Ps, bring swimwear. The hot tub affords the best of sunset views.

Thank you to all the crew of the Emma Jane for looking after us so well. It has been a fantastic trip from start to finish. Compliments especially to Nicola and her amazing cuisine and to Bea for all her varied hats, bar tender, deck hand, waitress etc. all brilliantly captured by Rob and thanks to Will for taking so much time to seek out and advise on the wildlife. All the best to you. Cath!
