Sunday saw an early start, well unusually for me at least. We had decided it would be best to “trick “Lily on her maiden voyage. If we let her off the boat as usual there was a chance she would not return for hours so I was up sneaking around getting the boat ready to cast off.
It was fairly calm so Louise stayed below with Lily and I started the engine which caused her to bolt for cover under the chart table; the cat on the other hand was fine.
It’s only about 12 miles around to Scala Loutra but it was into the wind and it threw up a bit off chop. There was a bit of meowing and she was definitely a wee bit anxious as she cowered under the coach roof watching the water. We took it easy and didn’t use the big white flappy things, perhaps that would’ve just been a wee bit too much on the first outing.

We arrived at 11:45 and Lily settled down for a sleep, probably as a result of using up all that nervous energy.

Monday & Tuesday we stayed put only going ashore for a farewell lunch with Nicolas. He will be heading back south down to the Dodecanese to meet his sister and other visitors this summer, and hopefully, as mentioned earlier we plan to go North and maybe, but only maybe Turkey.
