Well since we last blogged we have left the Aegean for the time being we wanted to cruise and not spend weeks hiding from the wind. We have not been alone in this as we have met several other boats making the same trip for the same reason.
So we made our way east wards from Naxos 2 long days sailing with a Danish boat called Lucy.
Above is Lucy her owner's Borge and Christine we making the same trip so we sailed to Poros together and then parted company but hope to meet up later in the year.
We then spent a week sailing towards the Canal visiting favourite paces again and some new!
On the south of the Island Aigina we went into a peaceful anchourage and as it was very deep our 1st this year of taking a line ashore onto a rock all went well until I jumped in with sun glasses still on my nose!!
We then moved onto Epiavros and took the inland trip to the best Greek Theatre see above it is still used today seat's 14,000 people but not very comfortable stone! The acoustics are so good that you can hear a coin drop in the middle whilst at the top or anywhere in the theatre.
Onwards to the Corinth Canal and on 27th May we went through the canal alone . Into the Gulf of Corinth.
We are in the Ionian now and enjoying some good sailing!!
