| Wow! | |
 |
|

|
| Not far now | |
 |
|
| However, we turn off to climb Castlehead | |

 |
|
| A busy scene | |
 |
|
| All aboard | |
 |

|
| Passing islands | |
 |
|
| Turned out nice again | |
 |
|
| So sunny at lake level | |
 |

| Coming in to land | |
 |
|
| The launch continues on its journey | |
