Tackling the Mighty Mississippi | Sailing Soulianis - Ep. 28
January 16, 2019 by Sailing Soulianis | Language: EN Play Time: 00:23:45 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Motoring a sailboat down the Mississippi River — a bit paradoxical, isn’t it? Back when buying a sailboat was still a distant dream, we can most definitely assert that motoring down a bunch of rivers was not on the to do list. But, sometimes you find yourself in strange situations. And it’s been one helluva journey!
This episode spans the 218 miles of Mississppi River which makes up part of the inland waterway connecting Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico.
We were apprehensive of the Mighty Miss. How would our boat handle in the swift 4-5 knot current? What would navigating around all the commercial traffic be like? Would there be safe places to anchor? Oddly enough, the Mississippi turned out to be one of our favorite parts of this journey. Fall was in full swing and the trees were a kaleidoscope of colors. Passing barges became more interesting and less nerve-wracking. A fog bank kept us on our toes. We found a couple of lovely anchorages, and watched one ahh-mazing sunset.
More music by Common Jack in this episode!
Hope you enjoy,
Lauren & Kirk

Sailing Soulianis
We're a couple of born and raised Midwesterners with hearts belonging to the ocean. After a decade of dreaming + planning to buy a sailboat, we found a beautiful Tartan 37 in Wisconsin, sailed for a season in the fresh water of Lake Michigan, and are migrating south via the inland river system to saltwater and warmer climates. Join us on our journey! Lauren & Kirk
