🚤 Life Aboard — What’s Been Going On? (Sept/Oct Newsletter by Noah)
DESCRIPTION

Hey everyone! It’s been an exciting few weeks aboard, and I wanted to share what we’ve been up to — from wakeboarding to virtual school, cat drama, and everything in between!

Anchored in North Kalamos

We spent quite a bit of time in a beautiful anchorage in North Kalamos. Grandad came to visit, and we also met a boat family called SV Smile — they were awesome, and we had loads of fun playing together.

North Kalamos Island was absolutely lush. The beach was spotless, no rubbish in sight, and the water was crystal clear. I even went wakeboarding with Dad — and yes, we were out there at the same time! There's a video somewhere where you can catch me showing off (as usual 😎).

👨‍✈️ Buddy-Boating with Friends

Our friends had to buddy boat with us for a bit. Their dad had to fly back to England suddenly for some family stuff, so we teamed up. It was great having them nearby — more kids = more fun!

🖥️ Starting Virtual School — MVA

As some of you know, I’ve recently started at Minerva Virtual Academy (M.V.A.). Well… kind of. So far, I’ve only been doing the “September Club,” which is like a warm-up before real lessons begin next week. It’s been chill — about two lessons a day and a social room sometimes.

We also did Family Orientation Week, where Mum and I learned how everything works. I got to try out some Canvas work too — which is like pre-lesson prep and homework. More updates coming next month once it all kicks off properly!

🐾 Mali Is Officially Ours (Oh No…)

So, yeah… we decided to keep Mali.

And I kind of regret it.

This little son-of-a-biscuit-eater keeps playing with THE OTHER CATS' POOP. Not even his own. Mali, come on! 💩

But to be fair, he’s very cool — and actually a rare breed. So we’ll let it slide. Mostly.

🔧 Mast Climbing & Boat Upgrades

Mum went up the mast recently after Dad installed a new security system. Now we can see the cats at night on our pontoon — but guess what? They still sneak onto other people’s boats and wake them up. Little rebels.

We also visited a stunning anchorage near the windmills in Kalamos. Josh, Mum, and I went for a walk to the port (which was immaculate), and then had dinner at a beach restaurant — despite the crazy waves!

🍸 My New Obsession: Making Mocktails

I’ve learned how to make amazing mocktails — like Mojitos and Cuba Libres. My favorite is definitely the Cuba Libre, because I’m a total Coke addict (not that kind of Coke… obviously 😂).

🎉 Coming Up Next Month…

Here’s what I’m excited about this coming month:

M.V.A. officially starts — ready to learn!

We're heading to Navis, my favorite boat restaurant in Lefkada.

Mali is getting neutered. His testosterone-fueled poop obsession is out of control. Time to calm him down.

We’re going to the UK for a week! Sadly, Mum can’t join us — she’s staying back to care for the cats. At least she gets a break (lucky her 😂).

Dad’s working on the boat: installing a new oven, TV, and fixing the watermaker... again.

Life on board is pretty sweet. The weather’s nice, the pontoon’s perfect for the cats — even if they keep sneaking onto the neighbours’ boats. Naughty floofs.

🙏 A Huge Thank You

Thanks so much to all our supporters! We appreciate every message, every like, and every bit of encouragement.

See you in the next one!
