Real Boat Life in the Ionian | Sailing Our Lagoon 42 to Lefkada
After leaving Zakynthos, we start working our way north through the Ionian Islands aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42 catamaran.
This week is not about big sailing days — it is more about the normal rhythm of cruising life in Greece. Short hops, quiet anchorages, hot days, swim stops, stern lines, rain showers, refuelling, and finally checking into Lefkas Marina.
Our first stop is Skala Beach on Kefalonia, before heading across to one of our favourite Ionian islands — Ithaca. We find a tight anchorage, set stern lines for the first time this season, and settle into a few slower days surrounded by green mountains and clear water.
From there, we continue north towards Pogonia, stopping the boat in the middle of the sea for a swim before anchoring in one of those places we keep coming back to. After a few days there, it is time to get Bluefish ready for marina mode again — fenders, mooring lines, fuel, and a berth in Lefkas Marina before we leave the boat for a few days.
This is the quieter side of full-time boat life in the Mediterranean — not just sailing, but all the small moves and routines that make up the journey.
Join us as we continue sailing Greece as a family aboard our Lagoon 42.
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.
