We recently sailed the Corinth Canal with our catamaran! But before we crossed this iconic Canal, we first went up to see it from above. You can see here the drone recording of us looking over the Canal. Some interesting facts about the Canal of Corinth: • Opened in 1893 • Length: 6.3 km • Width max: 24 meters • Depth max: 8 meters • Cliffs: about 90 meters high • 11,000 ships pass through annually • 6 bridges cross the canal, at a height of 52 meters above the water
We've been out on my 33year old, 30ft Sagitta catamaran a few times since launching a month ago. But yesterday was the first "real" sail. I was joined by Alex and Kristina, who had sailed the boat a couple of times last year. There was more wind than expected, 20+ in Plymouth Sound. We left the mooring at 14.30, reached out to sea until we were 10 miles south of the breakwater (according to the gps) then turned round and were back on mooring at 17.30. 27 miles sailed. No breakages, but a spinnaker wrap on the last gybe as we re-entered the Tamar. So "a good time was had by all", and hopefully bodes well for the Falmouth Triangle race this holiday weekend.
