Water restrictions are still in force: Maximum draft 2.0m freshwater. Lock in times at the Crinan sea lock are currently 3 hours either side of high tide.

The sluices at locks 12 and 13 are now only to be operated by canal staff.

Transit times from Ardrishaig to Crinan on Thursday 7 hours, Friday 8.5 hours. These were boats on the pontoon ready to enter the sea lock at 8,30am and in the first lock in.

I am not aware of the "3hr either side of high tide" restriction, can you please provide a reference for it?
