We left Trizonia before it became too much like "hotel California" and are currently only under genoa running before a 2 meter swell towards Galaxidhi. This port is some 18 miles nearer the Corinth canal and should be sheltered. The mountains around here are glistening with fresh snow.
We moored Galaxidi at 12.45 hrs after a fast sail with gusts up to 40 knts and steep short following seas.

It's early evening in Galaxidi and we can see the ancient ruins of Delphi but it was too late to go there today. Still the wind howls as it has done now for nearly eight days! When will we get a calm day? At least it was blue skies today for the first time for ages!! Tomorrow should see us off again towards the Corinth Canal, but only if the wind is sensible. Top boat speed today was 13.5 knots under only the Genoa.
