11 hours of sailing with wind right on the nose and annoying choppy waves. Not the most comfortable ride, but that’s sailing life! We’re slowly making our way west, and the Ionian Islands are just around the corner. Feeling tired but excited! the next big jump will take us all the way to Sicily 🇮🇹⛵️

We left Kalamata, land of Leonidas and Spartan pride, and sailed south along the rugged Peloponnesian coast. After hours of wind and salt, we arrived in the Bay of Navarino, near the town of Pylos, a place steeped in myth and history. Anchored where empires once clashed and legends were born..

We just rounded the second finger of the Peloponnese.. the legendary land of Leonidas and the Spartans. No tourist traps here, just raw mountains, ancient wind, and a sea that whispers of battles past.. On our way to Kalamata, slowly melting🔥🫠

Sailing through the Peloponnese brought us back to stunning views, peaceful anchorages… and old friends! Always special when the sea brings us together again. ❤️⚓️

We left the Cyclades with the wind at our back, heading towards the Peloponnese. In between, Cape Maleas, the infamous Devil’s Cape, where the Aegean and the Ionian seas meet… and they don’t shake hands nicely. 🌊💨 Confused seas, sudden gusts, and a reputation that’s been feared for centuries. We waited, we watched the weather, and then we went for it.💪

From Kythnos to Milos, the last of the ciclades for us before heading to the peleoponnes. If anyone is in the neighborhood come to say hi👋🍻

After days at anchor in Batsi with gusts that hits 51 knots, 😵‍💫 we finally had a little weather window to move to the next island on our list, kythnos🇬🇷❤️

We sailed 11 hours from skiros Island to ydrousa Beach through a roaring meltem that hit 38 knots and built 2 meters wave, while avoiding many bulk carriers.. 😱 We know that it seems a nightmare..but good weather doesn't make good sailors💪

Made it to the last of the Sporades islands. Amazing anchorage!

We just left the wild anchorages of the Sporades and sailed into… a 5-star resort marina 😲 Suddenly we’re neighbors with luxury yachts — and we’re here for a weeks to get our PADI diving certification! 🤿⛵ From salt crusted decks to spa vibes… this adventure keeps surprising us.🤩

We crossed the famous Chalkida Bridge at night, battling strong currents and the unpredictable Euripus tide 🌘🌊 It felt like sailing into a raging river… but we made it through 💪 Final stop at Loutra Edipsou — natural hot showers and thermal pools right in the sea. Hot water flowing from the rocks, warm steam rising under the stars… pure magic

We’ve just entered the Gulf and were immediately greeted by strong katabatic winds—shifting, unpredictable, and coming from every direction. Nature’s way of reminding us who's in charge. Let the adventure begin!💪🇬🇷

Heading north with slow wind and a beautiful sunrise.

This week we sailed from the peaceful island of Poros to the majestic Cape Sounio, home of the Temple of Poseidon. But it wasn’t just any sail – we turned it into a mini regatta with a lovely couple of friends! Wind in our sails, laughter in the air, and a little race to the god of the sea himself. It’s not always about the destination… but let’s be honest, when the destination is Poseidon’s temple, it’s pretty epic

We’ve just arrived in Poros, Greece! 🌊⛵️ What was meant to be a short stop turned into a full week due to a strong meltemi blowing over 40 knots for five days straight 💨😳 But every challenge is an opportunity at sea… and this island surprised us in the best way. Poros is absolutely charming, quiet anchorages, delicious food, and the kindest people. 🏝️💙 Sometimes the weather writes the story… and this one turned out beautifully.

From Athens to the Saronic islands: what a ride! ⛵️💨 The wind? Non-stop. The reward? Totally worth it: crystal-clear turquoise waters and… PEACOCKS. Yep, real ones. Everywhere. 🦚

After months of sailing, we’ve finally entered the mighty Aegean Sea! 💙 The meltemi gave us a proper (and windy 💨) welcome, let’s just say our sails got quite the workout 😅. We’re now heading toward the city that completely stole our hearts: Athens 🇬🇷✨ Ancient ruins, warm people, incredible food…

We did it! Crossed the legendary Corinth Canal and officially made it to the Aegean Sea 🎉 The canal was narrow, epic, and gave us goosebumps (and maybe a few heart palpitations 😅). Now it's time for turquoise waters, strong meltemi winds, and feta overdose 🧀💨 From the Ionian to the Aegean – SV Goat keeps pushing east, one adventure at a time. Fair winds, Sea People! 🐐🌊🇬🇷

We’ve officially left the Ionian behind and are making our way toward the Aegean! First stop: the Gulf of Patras, where Poseidon decided to test our nerves with some wild and unpredictable winds 💨🌊 Sailing under the incredible Rion-Antirion bridge felt like entering another chapter of our journey, epic, slightly chaotic, and 100% real-life adventure! 🚧✨ We stopped at the tiny island of Trizonia to catch our breath and get ready for the legendary Corinth Canal crossing in the next few days... but not before losing our solar panels to the wind gods 😅⚡️(yes, it happened!)

After months of adventures, repairs and a few too many pasta nights, we're finally back where it all started.. the beautiful Ionian Sea! The Ionian still feels like home, warm water, messy anchorages, and that perfect chaos we love. We’ll be here for a week, waiting for some friends to join us.. so if you see Goat around, come say hi! 👋 Same boat, same us (just a bit more salty), happy to be back in this blue wonderland. #sailinggoat #backtotheionian #seapeople #sailinglife #sailingaway #greece #sailinglovers

From Brindisi to Preveza in February 2025.

From May to September last year, we set sail on our first real adventure — a journey that took us over 1,000 nautical miles! It was a season full of "firsts": first night watches, first storms, first anchor drags... and first sunsets that left us speechless. Every mile taught us something new, and every mistake turned into a great story (and usually a good laugh later!). We’re still learning, still dreaming, and still loving every second of this crazy life at sea. Here's to many more miles, new friends, and unforgettable moments! Fair winds everyone!
