Leaving Our Boat Behind: Olympia, Sparta & Mystras
We leave the boat behind for a few days and take a road trip through ancient Greece.
From Olympia to Ancient Messene, Sparta and Mystras, this episode is about stepping off Bluefish and into the places we have been reading and talking about for years. Old stones, long drives, history lessons, tired legs, and the kind of learning that happens when you are standing right in the middle of it.
It is a different rhythm from life at sea, but still part of the same journey.
Boat life paused for a little while.
Ancient Greece, by road.
In this episode:
Olympia
Ancient Messene
Sparta
Mystras
Road trip through the Peloponnese

Sailing Bluefish
A family living full-time aboard a Lagoon 42 catamaran, sailing Greece and exploring real boat life in the Mediterranean. We’re Sailing Bluefish — Fredrik from Sweden, Laura from the UK, and our two New Zealand-born boys. After building businesses and raising our family in New Zealand, we chose a different kind of life. Now our home floats. We’ve been sailing and living aboard for the past two years. We’re only now sharing the journey properly on YouTube. This channel follows the real rhythm of full-time catamaran life — Mediterranean sailing, family life aboard, worldschooling, boat systems, maintenance, repairs, anchorages, passages, weather, waiting, and the everyday lessons learned through trial and error. If you’re curious about family liveaboard sailing, Lagoon 42 life, sailing Greece, and what it really takes to live full-time on the water, welcome aboard.
