We leave beautiful Sivota Bay in Lefkada aboard INDARA, our Najad 380, and head out into the stunning blue Ionian waters. The day starts with incredibly light winds, but INDARA surprises again by sailing comfortably at around 6 knots in almost no breeze. Along the way we enjoy peaceful sailing, calm seas, and the relaxing atmosphere of the Greek islands. Later, after anchoring, the weather changes and stronger winds arrive, giving us a reminder that conditions in the Ionian can shift quickly — but everything stays safe and under control. Join us for another relaxed sailing day aboard our floating home as we continue exploring Greece one bay at a time. ⛵ Boat: Najad 380 “INDARA” 🌊 Location: Sivota Bay, Lefkada, Greece ☀️ Calm sailing, light winds, anchoring & stronger gusts If you enjoy real sailing life, cruising Greece, anchoring adventures, and life aboard a bluewater sailboat, subscribe and sail along with us! #sailing #greece #liveaboard #najad380 #ioniansea #sailboatlife

Our neighbour while leaving the quay went on top of our anchor chain so we have to check the anchor now to see if it is still set.

We leave beautiful Sivota Bay aboard Indara and continue our slow Ionian journey toward the famous village of Fiskardo in Kefalonia. In this episode we show our med mooring arrival with anchor, a relaxing walk through Fiskardo’s colorful streets, the old church, Roman lighthouse and stunning coastline, before departing again the next morning for a peaceful light-wind cruise to Kioni on Ithaca. This video is all about gentle Ionian boating, easy summer cruising, quiet moments with visiting family and relatives, and the simple joy of living aboard our Najad 380. Mostly motoring in very light winds, calm seas, sunshine and beautiful Greek harbors — exactly the kind of sailing life we love. ⛵ Boat: Najad 380 “Indara” 📍 Greece - Ionian Sea 🇬🇷 Sivota → Fiskardo → Kioni If you enjoy relaxed cruising videos, Mediterranean harbor life, sailing Greece and authentic liveaboard moments, we’d love to have you aboard for the journey. #Sailing #Greece #IonianSea #Najad380 #Liveaboard

We leave the town quay in beautiful Vathy Bay, Ithaka, lifting anchor and slowly making our way out into the Ionian Sea aboard Indara, our Najad 380. This is real cruising life - calm water, light winds, peaceful surroundings, and the slower moments that are also part of long-term sailing. After departing Vathy, we continue sailing through the stunning Greek islands under almost no wind, enjoying another beautiful day aboard. Join us aboard Indara as we explore Greece one anchorage at a time. ⛵ Boat: Najad 380 “Indara” Location: Vathy Bay, Ithaka, Greece #sailing #greece #ithaka #boatlife #liveaboard #ionian #sailinglife

We left Spartochori heading for Kalamos expecting another beautiful day in the Ionian. But the weather had other ideas. As the wind started building, we decided not to push on and changed our plans, searching for a more comfortable shelter instead. Join us aboard INDARA as we sail through changing conditions, make decisions at sea, anchor, dock, and eventually arrive in beautiful Vathy, Ithaka — the legendary island of Odysseus. Cruising life rarely goes exactly to plan... and that's part of the adventure. ⛵ Boat: Najad 380 "Indara" 🌊 Sailing Greece & the Ionian Islands 👫 Seahoppers -Stanis & Stoyan slowing down and living aboard #sailing #greece #liveaboard

Today aboard Indara we leave beautiful Sivota Bay for a short sail to Spartochori on Meganissi Island. After dropping the anchor and settling in, we take the bikes for a ride to Vathy, enjoy a peaceful Greek dinner by the boat, and finish the day with a relaxing walk through the village of Spartochori. No rushing. No schedules. Just another slow day living and sailing in Greece. ⛵ Boat: Najad 380 "Indara" 🌊 Ionian Sea, Greece 🚲 Cycling • Sailing • Village Life • Slow Travel #Sailing #Greece #Meganissi #Liveaboard

We leave beautiful Gaios, Paxos… maybe a little TOO close to shore 😅 Then it’s time for some relaxed motoring and a big milestone aboard Indara — using our watermaker for the first time at sea! Things get more interesting when we arrive in Sivota Bay and completely mess up the parking attempt 🤦‍♂️ We also try to repair our rodkicker/boom vang, only for me to realize later the problem was… the topping lift was still attached 😅 Real sailing life, real mistakes, and plenty to learn along the way aboard our Najad 380, Indara. ⛵ Boat: Najad 380 “Indara” 📍 Greece Sailing Adventures #sailing #liveaboard #greece #najad380 #sailboatlife

We sail from Corfu to Paxos on our Najad 380 Indara - a beautiful, relaxed passage… until it’s time to dock 😅 In this episode, we attempt a med mooring with anchor, and let’s just say… the nerves were real.

We leave Bari for a relaxed overnight motor sail to Corfu. Calm seas, easy miles, and a beautiful arrival in Greece. Once in Corfu, I tackle a boom vang fix and we do our first Med mooring of the season. Real sailing life aboard Indara.

We’re not mechanics — just two sailors trying to keep our boat running! In this video, we take on the challenge of changing the oil and impeller on our Yanmar 4JH4E engine for the first time. The video is long and slow because we wanted to show the real process — from our clumsy moments to small victories (yes, even tightening a screw took effort 😅). If you’ve ever thought, “I could never service my own engine,” this video is for you. You totally can — and we hope this gives you the confidence to try! ⚓ What we cover: Full oil change on Yanmar 4JH4E Changing the impeller Tools we used Mistakes we made & what we learned 🎥 Boat: Najad 380 Indara 👩‍🔧 Engine: Yanmar 4JH4E ⛵ Subscribe for more sailing life, maintenance adventures, and honest moments aboard Indara! #Yanmar4JH4E #DIYBoatMaintenance #SailingLife #Najad380 #BoatEngineService #CruisingCouple

Our last sail for the 2025 summer season took us from Vieste to Bari, marking the end of an unforgettable few months in the Adriatic. It was also a special day - we finally flew our spinnaker for the first time! After a couple of funny mistakes and adjustments, it filled beautifully in the super light winds, making for a calm, easy, and satisfying sail along the Italian coast. Join us for this relaxed passage, a few laughs, and reflections as we wrap up our Seahoppers summer adventure aboard Indara.

Early September morning - calm sea, golden sunrise, and the gentle sound of our engine as we leave the beautiful island of Lastovo, Croatia. After an unforgettable summer, it’s time to cross the Adriatic Sea to Vieste, Italy. We motor sail through glassy water, make coffee onboard, and watch the Croatian coast fade behind us. In Vieste, we wander the old town - narrow alleys, white stone houses, and the romantic legend of the Hearts of Vieste, carved by lovers into the rock of love. This video is a calm, heartfelt end to our sailing season - but we know we’ll be back in Lastovo again. ❤️ 🎵 Music: “Goodbye, Lastovo Morning” & “Hearts of Vieste” – Original Suno AI songs created for this video. ⛵ About our journey: We’re Stoyan and Stanis — a couple sailing aboard our Najad 380 Indara, sharing slow adventures across the Mediterranean.

A calm and beautiful sail aboard Indara across the Adriatic Sea to the island of Lastovo.
