A Tick in the Bucket List

Finally made it up the Gulf of Corinth to Galaxidi so we could visit Delphi on the third attempt. Sadly in a tippy boat not Grey Dove but, hey ho, it has been fun.
Being Royal Navy Artificers and therefore subjects of Artemis, this trip is akin to a haj. As always the Oracle was not at home, she did not even leave a message!
Great museum and the archaelogical site is steep and challenging in 38°C but worth it. Galaxidi, the best local port, is charming with an excellent and interesting maritime museum.
Getting back out of the Gulf was at times a struggle with cyclonic winds and thunderstorms requiring a full reef at times. We had to shelter for a day in Trizonia and motor sail through variable winds to pass the Patra bridge and go up the 2 mile canal to Mesalonghi and a well deserved "big eats" ashore.

On a Tippy Boat again
