| We ended the day driving through another narrow channel, but this one was edged with reed and ended in a series of very shallow muddy lagoons, like the broads. |
An amazing day. Gentle windward sail and then a motor through the Dragets canal and on into a large area that resembles a Norfolk broad in every respect except it's depth(3m to 6m) and the granite outcrops fringing it amongst the reeds. We were told that the canal was blasted through the granite to provide a short cut for the King's fleet. They must have been very small ships as it's narrower than a standard British canal and 2m or less deep! Also with three swims, the final two here necessary to cool down and in warmer water than usual.

| We thought this a narrow channel, but at least you could see what was coming and wait if needed (we did) |
 |
| The Dragets canal was somewhat rockier, every bit as narrow and bendy. They say you must sound your horn, but we followed a line of motor boats through. |
 |
| Deeper into the canal. |
