Hope to see you there…Happy Monday!

A pirate walks into a bar with a ship’s steering wheel in his pants.
The bartender says: “Hey, did you know you’ve got a steering wheel in your pants?”
“Aye, sir that it be”,
Says the pirate,
“it’s driving me nuts!”
Maybe too much sunset and moonshine (Prosecco - come on we’re not that self-sufficient - yet).
Happy Wednesday! (because why ...

Storytime….the sun and I have always had a powerful relationship. #ad
At 26 I was diagnosed with SAD (seasonal affective disorder) but no amount of lightbox therapy could pull me out of the dark hole I fell into every autumn.
Naturally a vivacious person - my smile faded and my soul withered away. 2023-10-26 09:55:38 +0000 UTC View Post
From our Instagram/social media today in case you guys missed it!
Both our boys are NOT fans of wearing clothes in water (can’t say we blame them!) but when they DO let us put their UV protective shirts on - we high five! ☀️
Usually we just splaster them in high factor sunscreen after yeaaaaaaars of attempting to get them to wear gear but they’re just like mum and dad and prefer non-restrictive swimwear.
However the fact can’t be de...

Forget Baywatch….this is Catwatch! 😎
When we’re at port a beady eye has to be kept on Ronnie because he loves to hide in boulders particularly port-walls! 🐈
Smidge isn’t out because…well…she hasn’t and WON’T step foot on land since she was tiny and therefore small enough for us to carry her there without being scratched to pieces! 🐈⬛
It’s hard to say if Ronnie is a true boat cat (he’s more of a hybrid) or she...

Bimini or beach….the sea and sand BOTH REFLECT UV RAYS x 2!!

PATREON/PAID MEMBERS UPDATE!
Todays live sail has been postponed until tomorrow….
All washing, packing, water-maker-fixing, provisioning & most of the Monday schooling done ✅
However: Noah was unwell so missed his afternoon classes, Laura was knocked sideways with fybro fatigue after our busy YouTube-release weekend - so It only made sense that with a calm evening like this one we sat tight and got a good nights rest before whacki...
2023-10-02 16:20:45 +0000 UTC View PostHEY 👋 ALL HOLLY BLUE LEVEL (and above) PATRONS:
With all preparation in order and plans actually coming to fruition we are hoping to set sail south today as we have 10 days of lovely weather ahead…
This means another opportunity for a LIVE SAILING STREAM!
Keep an eye out on here and updates on the private Facebook group for more info.
It will be mainly silent sailing as we are rigging up a camera but if we get an opportu...

Hello Patrons,
In this Boat Life Off-Grid episode, Laura strips off and gives Holly Blue a wash down in the rain but with the on coming storm that soon deteriorates, things get pretty tense! Joshua fears for his life as we all experience some of the closest lightning strikes any of us have ever experienced! Not to mention anchors being ripped out left, right and centre! within our secluded bay in Meganisi. Ross also shares his Super B LiFePO4 installation with you and how we...

Hello Patrons!
It's all about to change here on Holly Blue! We begin to show you how we live completely 'off-grid' and why we have given up on homeschooling Joshua in this first episode of a brand new series. Don't worry we will be running this series along side Season 4 so there is still plenty of sailing and diversity to come :) There is some spectacular scenery, fishing, yoga, paddle boarding and invaluable advise on education away from conventional schooling. ...
2023-09-17 10:46:02 +0000 UTC View PostWe are all settled in our new bay now.
Ross is busy editing our upcoming episode (hoping 🤞 to release early TODAY to you guys!) but I (Laura) will be taking the boys on a morning walk shortly before Joshs next school lesson at midday & I’m hoping to squeeze in a little live update for you here on the Facebook Group!
Between 11:30-12 midday EET….See you there….🦋

Hello Patrons! Thanks for your continued support :) In this Sailing Episode we give you an update on our sailing journey across Greece. Laura takes us under the sea in her sexy new dive gear! We also share with you some of our new Boat Life additions: The Smaco 700 and Bluetti AC200MAX with 2x PV350 Solar Panels, all of which are absolute game changers for our sailboat and off-grid live-aboard life on the sea.

Hi Guys! In todays catch-up patreon/members only episode the sun has almost disappeared, along with the horizon, as fires rage across mainland Greece...we show you the smog-effect this has had on our current anchorage, Noah shows off his new 'skills', and we take you for a still and rather eery paddle across a stretch of ocean to our favourite dive-spot....a tiny island that usually - with wind and waves to battle - there would be no way we could reach! But today despite the sadness that han...

It might start out as picture perfect serenity, but it sure didn’t stay that way!….todays patreon/members only video is a shorter catch-up & shows how we have to be flexible with our usual routines (when winds are forecasted to be strong) based on crew safety - which always comes FIRST.
Otherwise it’s business as usual - the cats get the breakfast of their dreams now Laura is catching fish regularly (another step towards cost-free, sustainable living! 🎉), Josh gi...
