With a brisk north easterly, we left Kalamos and had a brilliant 39 mile sail south, through the passage to the north of Oxias out into the Gulf of Corinth and then east to within about 5 miles of Messalonghi…

We ended up motoring initially for 10 miles from Trezonia and once the westerly wind picked up we sailed downwind for the final 11 miles round into the beautiful town of Galaxidi. We’d been here last year, anchoring in the…
