After our passage through The Corinth Canal and our traumatic overnight in Kiato, we head North across the Gulf to the small town of Galixidi. Mooring on the town quay with no cost is a bonus at this time of year, with the port Police almost horizontal in their attitude towards visiting yachts.
Next up is the small island of Trizonia, lying West of Galixidi and offering sheltered mooring in the 30 knots that always seems to be trying to slow our progress.
With rotting and sunken boats, Trizonia sounds dodgy, but actually turns out to be a little gem. Friendly islanders, open tavernas and a ferry service to the mainland make this a must stop on your way through the Gulf.
An overnight stay and it’s an early start heading for Messolonghi, but first we have to pass under the famous Rion Bridge! The longest cable stayed bridge in the world, this bridge is amazing.

so it's what time I have a six seven

we're in galaxy D and we came in about

four o'clock no problem whatsoever just

modes down to got some help from a nice

guy on a boat nearby into the port

police because the kind of cold walk to

the boat and asked us to bring our

paperwork so we did and always an order

there and he said if we stay one night

we don't have to pay anything but any

more than that we might have to pay a

small fee and that includes electricity

more

[Music]

it's another beautiful morning and we're

gonna try and head off to the next place

which is cokely's owner so we'll try and

head off there sometime this morning

have some breakfast get going it's

lovely it's supposed to be 25 knot gusts

later on this afternoon so we'll try and

get there in reasonable time to get nice

and secure it in case it picks up

right

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

so we're more safely moored up in the in

the marina now we have gone alongside

and the wind is blowing is off hopefully

it stays like that but we were helped by

a nice couple German couple and the boat

on the left-hand side and the cat on the

right and so I came in just before us so

we we sort of both came in together

quite busy here actually didn't realize

it was gonna be this busy but few old

boats in here and few rotting away and

so walk into town and see what we can

see karma is in here and the corners 30

knot wind so we're a bit surprised we're

on this little island that we thought

was just really an old marina and it

turned round it's got a church it's got

some bars the bars look lovely and

they're actually being used at the

moment and it's only April there are

some what look like more in boys are

here which we'll ask later and there are

quite a lot of houses and I'll tell you

what it's lovely absolutely lovely so

I'm sure there's probably a market here

too somewhere

we just haven't found it yet

so you can see how lively the sea is

around here in comparison to what it was

like in that little bay and this is what

we sailed through it's a bit more lively

that was choppy

that's the mainland opposite which looks

very nice actually this is a heck of a

big graveyard for a very small island

beautifully kept

unbelievable for such a tiny island so

the opposition 1909 to 2008 only ninety

nine years old in it

sit inside

[Music]

[Music]

so last night we had some tea we had a

curry which is really nice we then

decided that we will put in to tap our

to the square and we went for a drink

just it's all of the little castle bars

really nice all enclosed nobody was

smoking in there which was really good

they got heater on so it were nice and

go with it we got on the internet and we

did a few bits on Facebook and to all

this I think was nice stayed there for a

couple of hours then came back to the

boat and a good night's sleep very quiet

very still this morning by seven ish

we're on the way now towards messolonghi

took about six hours something like that

we're not gonna rush because we had a

bit of a rush day yesterday and then we

stay in messolonghi overnight before we

head off to yeah we're meeting : Jenny

from current any sailing adventures so

they just finished their date skipper

course and they're heading down towards

two meters sadly nice so we've got sails

out took a lot wind but we've got a

sails out which is good we're plodding

along it about three knots of a minute

well course we are because we're tacking

but we might get there about eight

o'clock tonight to this right we've got

a lot we knew he got that 8 point 8

point something and not so wind anyway

an hour and a half into her journey

which takes us through the Gulf of

Corinth we were on the north edge of

that gulf in true Sonia

we've now traveling from east to west

and we're actually going to go through

the Rhian bridge now the Rhian bridge is

crossing over from one side of the Gulf

to the other or north the SAS or says to

north depending on which way you're

traveling back up it's about two

thousand two hundred and eighty-three

meters long so quite a long bridge and

it's the world's longest cable spanning

bridge so it's held up by cables there

are four towers which take you and the

length of the Gulf or rather the width

of the Gulf and we have to contact real

traffic to actually ask which part of

the bridge you are allowed to cross

under so it's quite exciting first thing

let's see if I can zoom in and see the

bridge now quite hard to see it's a bit

misty just see it coming to view they're

quite a big bridge so we've got to come

around that headland there and just at

that point we have to read you in to us

and the cross under the bridge

where the bridge meets the land on the

north and south coasts it's about 140

meters from the seabed and in the centre

is about a hundred and sixty meters from

the seabed

which is why you've got to contact the

control tower to actually ask them where

to go so if you're a big ship you

clearly will go through the center and

little boats like us we all go through

one of the edges

[Music]

[Music]

the name of our yacht is pesto

but we are fond of the wastrel

to what

Oh

[Music]

so we're just on standby inside the

bridge waiting for a ferry to come

across and there seem to be all about

every 15 minutes the ferries

so we're timing it I actually get

between the ferries so we're just

waiting for a call on the radio to tell

us it's time to go and then we can head

up

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

just see snow on the mountaintops just

behind the bridge just to give you an

idea of how cold it is we've got quite

an icy wind coming at us and we have had

for the last well week

[Music]

[Applause]
