And the lock-keeper is opening the sluice to lower us down closer to Loch Fyne and the Firth of Clyde. This year (2015) for the first time, Scottish Canals have staffed ALL the locks so that progress for a yacht is much easier; previously crews had to work most of these large locks on their own which was hard work. On the downside, the transit fee has been greatly increased.
