018: Sailing the Corinth Canal, Visiting Epidavros and Mooring in Aegina
This blog it's all about finishing off the Gulf of Patras and going through the Corinth
Canal heading around to Epidavros and finally bringing the boat to Aegina.
There's always a few maintenance issues and on this passage it was the toilet - or heads!
We tried to get all our schooling done before we entered the Corinth canal doing some navigation and history related to the canal.
The Corinth Canal is the most expensive canal to transit (per metre) in the world. We estimated maybe a hundred fifty but we never imagined it would be €315!
Next Stop was Epidavros which was famous as a place of healing and for its theatre and the temple dedicated to Asklepion - God of healing. The kids told us how they felt about being there and it's always interesting and funny listening to their perspective
Back at the boat there was more maintenance and some shopping to be done. We also bumped into a Czech couple and we were able to practice some Czech language.
After an exhausting shopping trip on the bike, we headed to Aegina. The kids occupied themselves with turtle spotting and making models, before finding a nice anchorage just of Aegina harbour.
We got the dinghy and paddle board out and had some fun.. and our youngest finally got to grips with rowing.
Aegina is a really busy port it's so close to Athens and it was complete chaos. However, we found an engineer to fix our generator.. again. This time it was a relay replacement.
So one job finishes and another one starts and as we were trying to mouse a line for the mizzen halyard we lost the halyard through the mast!
We had to return to the UK to collect some spares and also sort out our VHF our AIS system and also to get the children Czech citizenship and apply for Czech passports. I've already got Czech citizenship but I wanted to organize it for children because when UK leaves Europe we thought it'd be good to have European passports.
Normally, in Aegina there are loads of ferries coming and going. But the day before we were about to leave there was a ferry strike. So in the end we managed to get a hydrofoil and left woody behind to look after boat.
