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 sailing day before settling into an anchorage with stern lines ashore. But at 5am, in complete darkness, strong gusts start pushing Bluefish sideways and we decide to leave before conditions get worse.
Later, after moving again to find better holding, smoke begins rising from nearby Kalamos as firefighting helicopters and planes arrive to tackle a wildfire.
A bee sting, a great sail, an early-morning move and changing conditions around Kastos — another few days of full-time boat life in the Ionian.

⛵ Welcome aboard Bluefish
We’re Fredrik, Laura, Lucas and Noa. We sold everything and moved aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42 catamaran, because we believe life is meant to be lived before it’s too late.
Now we sail the Mediterranean full-time, sharing life aboard with teenagers — sailing, anchorages, boat systems, fishing, foiling, photography and the places we discover along the way.

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.
