Sailed this morning from Galaxidi 09:45 and arrived in Trizonia at 13:00, I had been in this port in 2007 going to Croatia and depression was always the feeling been in this place. It can only happen in Greek waters, in a beautiful place to see a deserted ghost kind of marina. No authority to take care of this place, no services   a sad place with yachts left there for years since no cost for these owners. Had talked to some people on the small island last time I was here and I had learned that the construction stopped when the company went bust and the National Organization of Tourism didn’t bother to take care of this place nor the local government nor the people from the island, so sad!

The weather was fair, a westerly was blowing 11-18kts with nice waves of one meter height. We anchored hundred meters before the entrance in beautiful waters and prepared a light lunch and as soon as finished we sailed to the Rio Antirio bridge and continued to Kefalonia.

The evening was humid and the light beautiful, while we were passing the bridge the lights were turned so we could see a magnificent view of the bridge.

The night was very quiet we had to be careful for ships and the wind had dropped in strength and changed direction to the north which made our sail very comfortable.
