Once all the preparations were done, and tree at the bow ready for her
first job, anchor maid ( although she thought we were just messing about with her ) she did not realize how important the job of anchor maid
was but really enjoyed it, and although I did get to do it once or twice
during our two weeks, tree decided that it was her roll on-board and frowned upon anyone else doing the job.
A perfect launch, with tree at the bow and John in control, we set off up the channel towards Nydri and the open waters.
Under motor and off we went, Tree and I just sat and took in the view, John pointing out the local points of interest as we came to them, the village Geni on the other side of the bay, the fabulous houses , boat yards etc. then out into the open water, well may be not so much the ocean, but what looked like a huge lake, surrounded by mountains, In truth the islands, and even the mainland some many miles away , just made it look that way, we were out, in the open sea, for Tree and I for the very first time.
