Prepping our Boat for 1500 Miles Over Land! | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 116

Let’s Go BIGGER! | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 114
We’re on the hunt for our next boat! We’re looking for a trimaran that’s big enough to live on for several weeks to a month+ at a time, but still small enough to trailer. It’s been tough — if not impossible! — to find. So far most of the boats we’ve seen have been too small in one dimension or anoth...
The 3-YEAR HUNT for our NEW TRIMARAN | Sailing Soulianis – Ep 113
For the past 3+ years we’ve been secretly on the hunt for our next boat.

Our NEXT BOAT Solves All our Problems with Cruising | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 112
What kind of boat we’ve been secretly dreaming about for the last 3+ years? Living, traveling and working on our monohull gave us a lot of insight into what we did and did not like about our first boat and our cruising lifestyle. Because we value spending time with our families in the Midwest, we h...
It’s GONE: We SOLD our Boat | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 111
Once we decided it was time, it happened SO FAST. One day we were in Michigan writing the ‘for sale’ ad for our Tartan 37, and a few weeks later we were in Florida getting the rest of our belongings off a boat — that was no longer ours. We knew this day would come, but when it’s finally time to sa...

*** Want to try the hydration drink from TruWild? Get 20% here! *** We didn’t know it then — sailing into the sunset across the Gulf of Mexico — but this would be our last journey aboard our beloved Tartan 37. For a long time we’ve known there’d be a “next” boat. But what exactly would it be? W...
Is More (Hulls) Better? | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 109

Is this ELECTRIC OUTBOARD Worth It? Our Thoughts After 3 Years | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 108
For the last 3 years, we’ve put our electric outboard through the ringer. So what’s the verdict? In this episode, we tell you what we like and don’t like about our ePropulsion Spirit Outboard, how we power it from the sun, and pick our winner: gas or electric? Hope you enjoy! Lauren, Kirk & Ren...
DON’T Sail Downwind Without THIS | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 107
Sailing is tough, and often uncomfortable. Anything that makes life easier or more comfortable onboard means you’ll sail more, and enjoy it more. We’ve had a spinnaker/whisker pole onboard since a fellow sailor donated one to us in Mobile, Alabama. We’ve tried to rig it once or twice, but never had...

A (Not So!) Perfect Day on the Water | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 105
With a forecast of light winds and sunny skies, our first sail with Renata started off perfectly. Wellll, just give it 20 minutes… …and Kirk’s climbing the mast, Lauren’s minding the crying baby, the wind is gone and it looks like Soulianis won’t ever make it to her destination. 😂 This first sail w...
Baby on Board: Our First Days | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 104
We leave the dock, woohoo! How far do we make it in the first week? Drumroll, please…four miles! Have we mentioned traveling by boat isn’t exactly fast? Okay, okay, there was a reason: a shipment of parts for our new mainsail had yet to arrive. But still. Sailing is slow even when you aren’t sailing...
It’s SPLASH Day, Baby! | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 103
This is our third time launching the boat after spending time on the hard. We’ve figured out the routine, for the most part, and each time has been easier than the last. But with so many moving parts, literally and figuratively, it seems like there’s always a new surprise or challenge. During our...
Boat Repair is EASY (Once You’ve Done it Wrong First!) | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 102
When we first bought our sailboat, we didn't know anything about boat repair. Now, a few years and dozens of boat projects later, we've acquired quite a bit of experience. With similar projects popping up a second time we don’t feel so clueless anymore! We've had one minor deck leak ...
Babies Don’t Belong in Boatyards | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 101
We’re back to the boat!! This is our fourth season aboard — but this time, baby Renata is along for the ride! The boat needs some work before we splash, as usual. In the past, Kirk and I would live in the boatyard, sleeping in the van and working every minute we could. This time around we do things...
Why These SAILORS Are Buying LAND | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 100
For the past four years, we’ve lived as nomads, splitting our time between cruising and working on Soulianis, and driving around in our van, Chip, to see family & friends, while hunting for real estate. It’s been a dream for us to travel, but we’ve also really wanted our own little piece of ea...

Is This the End? | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 98
Huge life changes are on the horizon! We’ve known for a while that our Tartan 37 won’t be our “forever” boat. With a baby on the way, she’s getting a little small; but we’re also ready to start approaching sailing in a whole new way. Knowing this however, doesn’t make the mind shift any easier. We k...
