30 Knots, Two Reefs, Then No Wind | Sailing Greece
Lucas wakes up to birthday pancakes aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42, but our plans for the day soon change when the anchorage becomes too uncomfortable to stay. We collect the family — and the pizzas — pull up the anchor and move around to a calmer bay to finish the birthday. The following morning we...
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
A bee sting on the tongue, a beautiful Code Zero sail, and an anchorage we eventually have to leave when the wind builds at 5am Just another couple of days sailing the Greek Ionian aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42 catamaran.

We Had to Leave Our Anchorage | Sailing Our Lagoon 42 in Greece
We leave Ithaca aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42, and sail through the Ionian towards Kastos. Before we even get going, the day starts strangely when a bee crawls into the straw of my water bottle and stings me on the tongue. With lighter winds forecast, we rig the Code Zero and get a beautiful saili...
This Is How We Spend a Day at Anchor | Sailing Greece
Once the anchor is down, it doesn’t take long before everyone ends up in the water.

The full EP27 is on Sailing Bluefish. #SailingBluefis...
This Is What Summer Boat Life Looks Like | Sailing Greece
A few days of summer boat life in Greece aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42 catamaran. Foiling, swimming, sailing through the Ionian, stern lines ashore and freshwater springs bubbling up through the seabed — with a rather unusual 88-metre neighbour arriving overnight. Just another little piece of our l...

This Is What Boat Life Really Looks Like | Sailing Greece
Living on a catamaran isn’t just about sailing. Some days it’s boat jobs, making water, cooking, swimming, fixing things, watching the weather and finding time to play in between. Then a morning thunderstorm rolls through the anchorage and reminds us that life on the water can change pretty quickl...
