Our search for Nessie

In the deep lies a creature – a creature of myth and legend – a dragon – a beast

The Loch Ness Monster.

We reached Loch Ness, where this legendary creature lives.  We have all read the stories – the photos have been debunked.  People say that she never was here, or that she is long since gone (as the first sighting was in 565 A.D.).

So, looking for her is pointless – – – or is it?

The weather was perfect (19 degrees Celsius), the wind was calm, the sun was high in the sky.  I was sure that THIS was the time.  We joined the search aboard the Jacobite Warrior – a vessel equipped for the challenge.  With sonar reaching the depth of 750 feet on our journey, we crisscrossed the Loch with our eyes locked on the sonar screen looking for anything.  We waited and watched.  We watched and waited.  Nessie did not appear.  I’m not sure what went wrong – everything looked to be perfect for our historical viewing.  I guess it just wasn’t our day.

The Loch is beautiful.  The mountains falling into the water.  For such a worldwide legend it was very peaceful and quiet.  We stayed on the less traveled West side of the lake by the Falls of Foyers.  The falls were beautiful as was the hike down to them.

FYI – The sun sets at 11:00 PM and rises about 4:15 AM this time of year so you have plenty of daylight to do your own search for Nessie.
