Corinth Canal, an amazing feat of engineering and a box that required ticking on our bucket list when we began sailing. It was amazing there is no doubt, but what awaited us on our exit into the Gulf of Corinth can only be described as scary. Once over the submerging bridge and through the breakwater we were hit with a 3-4 m swell and winds gusting to 40 knots. With 2 hrs to our destination of Kiato this was going to be a very bumpy ride!
Kiato is the first mainland town of Greece we will visit on this journey, and after the trauma of our passage and the horrendous time trying to moor, our first impressions were decidedly poor. The saving grace is that 1 km along the coast road there is a Lidl store!
Leaving Kiato behind we head for the popular town of Galixidi, a short sail North and a sheltered town quay that gives us time to re-gather ourselves and relax.

so we've just checked in for the
currents and paid a hundred and forty
seven euros it's a little bit more than
we anticipated we can have anticipated
about ninety pounds which would have
been about in the 120 euro so that's the
first thing but we've only got about a
20-minute wait there are a couple of
boats coming through the opposite way so
we've just got to wait for them nice guy
very friendly very helpful and we'll see
him on the other side apparently
[Music]
so the gateways just dropped kind of
anticipate a boat will come through in
the next 10 minutes or so
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
your eye on the road keep your eye on
the road stop looking at things you're
not like to look at things margin for
error
and realize my head high it was and how
much digging they would have had to do
more chiseling than digging
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]

we come to the Torrance canal pull out
on the other side and the weather here
the wind is gusting up to 30 bucks well
a couple of hours of this so we should
look we've got the motor on as you can
see I don't think there's a road in
certain sales and and some as you can
see you were beautiful day just learn a
Hooley and rough to say the least
these first we beanie know that you
probably have able to hear me anyway
interesting no wait we're going to the
harbor and there was nowhere to go no
spaces 40 knots of wind so we came over
to thee well I suppose it's where all
the cargo boats go and of course the
wind is blowing is off the actual jet
off the harbour war yeah
[Music]
so just leaving Cato this valve was just
after nine o'clock and although it said
that it was going to be flat calm we've
had 20-knot winds this morning but we
decided to make the break and we've got
out here and I see it's not too bad
we've got between 10 and 16 knots of
wind and it's on the beam and we've got
the sails out there are beasts down a
little bit but we've got six point six
point five knots and we're pretty happy
with actually so we're on a course to
galaxy D which is about 30 nautical
miles from here which the takers I don't
know six hours something like that
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
the cameras on this thing it's just
gonna be upside down don't worry
[Music]
yeah I'm so amazing
we don't get vacant
which he comes from on Cameron
so I think that's the tone of itea but
we're actually going a little bit
further on to a place called Galaxy D
which is pretty well sheltered between
that little island and from Paris and
the mainland so it gives us quite a bit
of shelter because apparently the winds
are gonna be pretty strong tomorrow and
overnight tonight so we just need to top
top somewhere safe
