We made an early start and even managed to sail a bit for the first hour. Then the wind, as forecast, blew up from the east. Our journey was then similar to yesterday, bashing painfully into strong winds and a short choppy sea. On the way we passed under the Rio -Andirrion suspension bridge. This connects the mainland to the Peloponnese at the western approaches to the Gulf of Corinth. The bridge, opened in 2004, is the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world. After that we sought shelter at Navpaktos. We squeezed into the minute medieval harbour. We were the only visiting boat but there wasn't much room for anyone else. Outside the harbour there was a beach and we made use of that before exploring the town and castle and finding a restaurant for our dinner.
