We Let the Wind Decide
We don’t always know where we’re going when we leave an anchorage. The wind, the weather and how the day unfolds often decide for us — and the longer we live aboard, the more comfortable we’ve become with that. Sometimes it takes us somewhere new. Sometimes it brings us back to a place we already ...
We Stopped Chasing Destinations | Sailing Greece
We leave Ithaca with a southerly breeze and no fixed destination. A few anchorages are possible, but where we end up depends on how the wind and the day unfold. Sailing our Lagoon 42 through Greece’s Ionian Sea, we set the Code Zero when the angle works, adjust as the conditions change, and settle i...
We Thought This Would Be Easier
We finally try the new foil setup — and it’s a lot harder than expected. This week aboard Bluefish we move on to Vathy, refuel, anchor outside town, test the new board and head ashore for dinner. Watch the full episode now on Sailing Bluefish. #SailingBluefish #Lagoon42 #LiveaboardLife #Foiling
Is Living on a Boat Really That Easy? | Lagoon 42 Life
We leave Vasiliki aboard our Lagoon 42, Bluefish, and motor towards Vathy on Ithaca, stopping for fuel before anchoring in a small bay just outside town. Once we’re settled, it’s finally time to assemble the new foil setup and give it a proper try. Noa gets going quickly, Fredrik spends plenty of ti...
We saw the world’s largest sailing catamaran! #yachting #sailing
A birthday aboard Bluefish starts with pancakes and pizza — then the anchorage turns rough and the next day brings completely different conditions. We sail north towards Vasiliki, put the Code Zero out, take it back in, reef as the wind builds towards 30 knots, see dolphins and pass Hemisphere — the...
30 Knots, Two Reefs, Then No Wind | Sailing Greece
Lucas and the Sailing Bluefish crew navigate their Lagoon 42 catamaran through sudden 30-knot Aegean squalls, tucking two reefs before drifting into a dead-calm Greek island wind shadow.
Every Anchorage Had a Catch:
Our anchor drags, the next bay has a rocky bottom, and the anchorage after that rolls all night. Sometimes finding the right place to stop takes a few tries.
Another Day Living on the Water
This week is much more about the everyday rhythm of living on Bluefish. We move along the coast of Kefalonia, find a sandy anchorage, get the pump foil out, explore the cliffs by dinghy, head ashore for ice cream, practise some wing foiling and then raise the sails again for a short afternoon sail. ...
We Thought the Anchor Was Holding
Our anchor held through a night of strong, shifting wind off Ithaca. Then the alarm sounded in the middle of the day: Bluefish had started to drag. We sailed toward Kefalonia, but the first bay we checked had a rocky bottom, so we carried on as the sun went down. The place we eventually stopped was ...
Coffee Delivery Under Sail
One of the better parts of sailing with teenagers ☕ Who makes the coffee on your boat? Full EP31 is up now.
From Light Winds to 25 Knots
What starts as an easy sail south through Greece keeps changing throughout the day. We begin in light wind, then gradually reduce sail as the breeze builds to around 25 knots before finally fading again near Ithaca. A full day of sailing, dolphins, changing conditions and family life aboard our Lago...
The Wind Just Kept Building
We start the day sailing in light wind with the Code Zero up, but the conditions keep building. The Code Zero comes down, then we put in one reef, followed by a second as the wind reaches around 25 knots. A full day of changing conditions aboard our Lagoon 42. Full episode on Sailing Bluefish.
This Was Supposed to Be an Easy Sail
We set off aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42, expecting an easy sail south through Greece — but the conditions keep changing as the day goes on. The Code Zero goes up in light wind, Noa makes Laura and me coffee underway, and dolphins come alongside for a while. The sea is busy with traffic too, and we...
Why you should avoid Greece in high season
Sailing the Ionian in high season means the anchorages can fill up fast. We head towards Meganisi aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42, but every anchorage we check is packed. We take the sails down, keep searching, then raise them again and move on. This is what summer cruising in Greece can really look ...
The reality of high season sailing #sailing #boatlife
What should have been a simple sailing day through the Ionian turned into a long search for somewhere to stop. We sailed Bluefish, our Lagoon 42, towards Meganisi, but with the anchorages packed for high season, we kept moving — taking the sails down, putting them back up, and eventually almost endi...
We Sailed All Day… And Barely Went Anywhere
We set off aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42, for what should have been a simple sailing day through the Ionian. With light wind, we raise the main at anchor and slowly make our way towards Meganisi while Noa fishes, plays guitar and we make water underway. But in high season the anchorages are packed....
We Tried to Go Sailing… Then the Forecast Changed
We set off planning to sail, but a thunderstorm forecast makes us stay put. When we finally get moving, the anchorages are packed, so we end the day pump foiling instead. I’m still learning — and it’s honestly one of the hardest things I’ve ever tried. #SailingGreece #BoatLife #PumpFoil #Lagoon42
Not Every Sailing Day Goes to Plan | Boat Life in Greece
We’re living full-time aboard Bluefish with our family, and this episode is a pretty good snapshot of what that actually looks like. Dinghy runs into town, sailing south through Greece, packed anchorages, changing plans because of a thunderstorm forecast, family time aboard — and trying to get the h...
This is why we live on a boat #Sailing #Travel #Greece
A quick dinghy run into town for ice cream, muffins back aboard Bluefish, then burgers on the BBQ and dinner at anchor. Just a normal evening of full-time boat life in Greece aboard our Lagoon 42. #BoatLife #SailingGreece #Lagoon42
What Full-Time Boat Life Really Looks Like in Greece
We spend a few slower days aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42, anchored between Mytikas and Pogonia in Greece. There are supermarket runs by dinghy, a short sail south, lunch underway and the usual checks once the anchor is down. With a thunderstorm forecast, we stay put the next day while Laura and Luc...
When the wind turns against you #sailing #emergency #adventure
We wake at 5am to 26 knots blowing into the anchorage, so there’s no hanging around — stern lines off, anchor up, and we get Bluefish moving.
When the wind forces you to leave paradise #sailinggreece #boatlife
