Galaxidi to Corinth

We had a bit of excitement in Galaxidi. Both Friday and Saturday night we could hear disco music from a local bar until about 3:00 in the morning, so sleep was hard to get. Then, on Friday there was a violent thunderstorm and downpour to wash Eidos for the second time. Saturday evening the wind picked up and my new neighbor dislodged my Fortress anchor. Eidos hit the quay until we secured her to the neighbor. I kept pulling on the stern anchor, and eventually she dug in again. Early in the morning, we untied the bow lines, pulled up the anchor, and left.We saw several pods of dolphins along the way which was very special. They played in the bow wave and under the boat chasing us as we motored in the calm sea. 
That hill in the distance is the ancient Corinth. It was destroyed by an earthquake.
Finally, after 7 hours we arrived in the Inner Harbor of the new town of Corinth.

Galaxidi

The morning began before sunrise when our neighbors decided to leave. Unfortunately, they snagged another boat's anchor on the way out and had a bit of a problem getting free.
 here are some images of Galaxidi. 

Trizonia to Galaxidi

Trisonia is a small harbor with a few docks. It was supposed to become a yacht club but has been left unfinished . We did not go to land but swam and relaxed in the evening. Early the next morning we lifted the anchor and continued on our journey.
It was very calm so we had plenty of time to have coffee and raise the sails.But the wind did not arrive. Which in a way was a good thing, because when we checked the engine, we found a leak in the cooling water hose. Luckily, we were able to patch it . I then added 2 L of oil to the engine and half an hour later we continued on our journey. After 6 hours of motoring, we approached Galaxidi and entered a narrow harbor. I dropped the stern anchor and Justin passed the mooring lines to a waiting helper on the town quay.
After a short evening walk, we had an exquisite dinner at the local taverna.
I was woken up in the middle of the night first by loud music from a local bar and then by a thunderstorm and a downpour. Oh well, life is never boring.
