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...
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....
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.

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.

With lighter winds forecast, we rig the Code Zero and get a beautiful saili...
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.

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...
Real Boat Life in Greece | Sailing Our Lagoon 42 Around Kefalonia
We sail our Lagoon 42 around Kefalonia in Greece, moving from Ithaca to Argostoli and Xi Beach as we settle into the everyday rhythm of full-time boat life in the Ionian Islands — including a morning thunderstorm with lightning surrounding the anchorage. This week is less about big passages and mor...

Our worst nightmare happened and we weren’t as prepared as we thought.
Between the two of us, we’ve been sailing for a long time. We know the theory. We know where every piece of distress equipment on this boat is. We don’t skimp on insurance policies. But when an emergency actually happened, none of that seemed to matter. What we had was a pounding heart, a serious ...

The Emergency We Weren’t Ready For

After leaving Zakynthos, we start working our way north through the Ionian Islands aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42 catamaran.

We sail from Milos to Cape Malea aboard Bluefish, our Lagoon 42 catamaran, on a 12 hour passage across the southern Aegean.
