The photos are from a few days ago in Poros. There are few roads just back lanes and alleys. They are beautifully cared for and there are surprises around each corner. Winds were very light, even so we sailed for 3.5 hours.

Very light winds today. We tried to say but made minimal distance. The crew did two fabulous med moors when we reached the harbour. Yes, the draft beer here is very cold and tasty. Vathi is a very small and beautiful harbour. We had dinner on board, oven roasted fresh fish along with a green salad with shrimp. Unfortunately I forgot to turn SailTies off so the stats are all wrong except for distance travelled.

A nice trip up to a new port for me. Winds were highly variable in direction and speed so after a valiant attempt to sail we drop sails and slowly headed to harbour enjoying the scenery along the way.

Late departure with winds 10-15 knots gusting to 18. The sailing was great. Destination is Poros, which is very pretty. I’ll try to add some photos.

Big rollers while waiting for our transit. Then the wind came up making it uncomfortable. We hovered for about an hour and then went through.

Started as a cool day with very low winds. The winds came up for the last 2 hours building to 21 knots with gusts to 25 knots. We med moored with heavy winds. It was a challenge but the helmsman and the crew did it perfectly, very satisfying! 😊⛵️

We lost all oil pressure about 1.5 hr from harbour with no wind.

Transit of the Corinth Canal, never thought I would do that in my lifetime. There was a big improvement in the weather once we were in the Gulf of Corinth. Hopefully more sailing tomorrow and less mileage making.
