Bryher Rose gets her feet wet again at long last when a huge crane arrived and lifted her off the hard into the sea watched by an enthusiastic crowd of locals.
As we were getting ready to sail off we could see two large Eagles on the mountain behind us flying above a couple of seagulls.
The happy skipper, not quite so many butterflies in his tummy now his baby is back in the sea.
Relaxing with a cup of tea on the sail across from Paleros to Nidri on Lefkas.
Me on the helm
The boys enjoy a glass of Methos in Nidri after the maiden voyage. Not a bad sail about 11 miles in all but wind was all over the place droping to nothing and swinging around. We had a brief hiccup when the battery packed up and we couldn't start the engine but Sam just changed batteries and that got us going again. Looks like the alternator may have gone so not sure if we can sail to Sivota tomorrow and get it fixed there or if we have to stay in Nidri until Monday to get it fixed.
We are currently moored up in a small group of other boats on the town quay at Nidri, seems quite a friendly lot but could be subject to a bit of swell from the prevailing wind and ferries, it will be a bit of a change from being on dry land.
