I had intended to push a little further than Levka. The next place intrigued me. But I missed the bridge opening and then I spotted Timo and Nicole’s boat, the Candadian-Finn-German couple I met in Poros. I tied up to the town quay right in front of them. I left yesterday morning at 11 a.m. after getting groceries and diesel fuel, from Patras. The wind was against me and I motor sailed most of the way. I had a good night sleep in a quiet anchorage. At the mouth of the Onoma River near te island of Oxia. Today the wind was mostly from the south and I sailed most of the way. Very pleasant. Now I see a lot more sailboats all around me. Most are going SE into the Agean Sea, through the Corinth Canal. Then dark clouds gathered and I managed to get my sails down in time. Just before I entered the canal that cuts through the salt flats to Lefka a violent squall came down from the hills. Then it rained like a tropical down pour. I could hardly find the entrance to the canal through the wind driven rain. The canal reminds me of the La Conner slough.
