So, we woke up next morning and made our way to Corinth. A town on the west side of the famous Corinthian canal. A German cruise boat had pulled in overnight and in the morning as we passed by they were getting a paint job! See the crane below (cherry picker)
The "sail", quotes as it was mainly a motor job, saw a 6 hour ordeal and mainly none eventful except that we passed a US flagged vessel going in the other direction... we had met a Canadian vessel earlier in the week. This was a little unusual ... but good! The picture below shows the boat ... shes a little different as she doesn't have any "rods" holding the mast up. They are free standing... for better or worse :)
We arrived at Corinth and decided to go food shopping. We needed a few things so off we went. Below is a picture of a rabbit... ready for cooking... not something you see everyday!
That night we headed into town, and came across a bowling alley. We decided to play a few games. All was going well until my "irritated asshole" started to cause me a little pain. My game went down hill from there and Joseph won. It was time to call it a night as we had a long day the following day.
At around 7am we called up Corinth canal for directions for entering the canal. This was the first time since Amsterdam that we had to get directions or permission to pass through something. The first bridge which is lowered into the water to allow us to drive over and enter the canal... we were on our way! 
The other end, tied up and safe... We paid the bill, 170 euro and we were on our way again...
