We have been cleared to leave Costa Rica for our longest sail yet to Mexico. After nearly 2 months spent in Costa Rica, or should I say the coast of Costa Rica, all during the pandemic of 2020, we now are leaving for Mexico.
Customs and immigration have stamped our passports, our bilges are full ...
Welcome to the Best Sailing Show on Youtube! In Episode 1 we Sail from Key Largo to Bimini dodging tropical storms and sharks. Had one hell of a rodeo trying to clear customs but we were able to ease the tension with some amazing spearfishing!

This day did not go as I expected, but I am always grateful for the lessons learned. And there were three of them, to be exact! Thanks to Patron Robin Mah for the additional footage of me climbing the mast and trying to attach the rudder. And yes, next time I will have a helmet on!

(EP 108)
We are back!! Happy 2020 everybody! Well besides finishing up the last project we had we can now officially tick off our engines! They are running like a dream. We installed our saloon fans as it's getting pretty toasty now that it's summer here in South Africa. Hopefully we will ...
After months of not surfing we get out to the reef break at Dumbea Pass in New Caledonia. It’s our first time dropping the anchor on a reef pass and the windlass stops working! Ahhh not cool!! We manage to rectify the issue and jump off the yacht for a surf but then loose the go pro…
Even with the...
Even though the mast is back up and we’re officially a sailboat again(!), we’ve got a scary long list of boat projects to complete before we can leave the dock in Mobile, Alabama.
In this video we bend the sails back on, replace the kitchen plumbing, and do a bit of varnishing, finish woodworking a...
We put the mast back up and we’re pretty dang stoked about it. The electrical is reconnected, the boom goes back on, and Kirk takes a stab at tensioning our standing rigging himself. Soulianis is finally feeling more like a sailboat again.
Hope you enjoy,
Lauren & Kirk
P.S. If you’d like more...
Ooo this has been a long time coming… We make it to SALTWATER! After leaving the freshwater of Lake Michigan and traveling 1300 miles down the rivers (Mississippi and all the rest!), we’ve made it to the Gulf of Mexico!
Finally it’s time to turn our motorboat back into a SAILBOAT. Before leaving Ch...
We’ve become pretty comfortable with our life on the river. Each morning, once we’re underway, Kirk takes the helm and I make breakfast in the galley. Then we switch back and forth with steering, giving each other a chance to get something done. One afternoon, Kirk installs buttons on the handrail c...
At this point, we’re about halfway into our river journey from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico. We’ve transited several locks thus far, but no other part of the route has as many locks as Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.
It’s one lock right after another on the Tenn-Tom. Some are more memorable th...
We leave Saoirse behind for the day to head over to Fowl Cay on with friends, Dan and Kika, on their boat, Uma. We have similar boats, both Pearsons. one year apart and one foot apart. So we thought it would be interesting to do a day sail with them to see how they have Uma set up. We are always lo...
After flying down the Mississippi River at 10 knots, turning upriver onto the Ohio is a shock. It’s frothy with breaking waves, it’s running fast, and we struggle against its current. At one point, Soulianis slows all the way down to 1.5 knots, and we start to worry if we’re even going to make it — ...
Dad came to visit from Canada! We picked him up from the airport here in George Town and took him exploring around the island! Hiked up to monument, went for long walks on the beach, and played lots of volleyball on the beach! It has been a fantastic week so far! Hope you enjoy!
Thank you to everyo...
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...
As far as we know, we’re the last sailboat on the river. The only other watercraft are tows with barges, a couple motorboats being delivered for winter storage, and bunch of duck hunters. It’s a bit desolate, but beautiful. It feels like we have the river all to ourselves.
At the city marina in Peo...
Welp, it’s about time we get moving south, eh? With all the boat dramas from the last few episodes now behind us, we’re finally making miles south down the Illinois River. And good thing, too, ‘cause winter is hot on our keel.
We encounter all sorts of fun stuff on the river: huge locks, herds of ...
It is so much fun to be able to sail our home from one destination to another! Had a great time exploring the southern end of the Berry Islands. Next stop Nassau. Hopefully we won't have too many more issues with our engine! Fingers crossed!
The Alternator and starter store in Nassau helped u...
Oh dear…This one’s for you dreamers out there who will one day become newbie boat owners, just like us. Take notes! Hopefully you won’t have to make these same mistakes.
Last episode, we had issues with our centerboard, which were — surprise! — caused by yours truly. We ended up running aground, be...
At the end of our last episode, we left you thinking we ran aground. Yeah, we did. Though in all fairness, it was more of a “nudge the bottom” situation. The question was, how did we manage to run aground in 8 feet of water, when we only draft 4?
Turns out we were drafting much more. Unbeknownst to...
What lies between us and saltwater sailing? 1300 miles of rivers! Before we can get underway, we need to unstep our mast. For this leg of our journey south, we turning our sailboat into a motorboat. There’s a fixed 19’ 1” bridge in Chicago that forces sailboats to ditch their sticks. Besides that, r...
This week we take our friend DJ out for his first time spearfishing. I also have a one on one sundowner session explaining some things that have been going on and lessons Ive learned.

Do you dream of sailing over the horizon in your own sailboat? If so, one of the biggest questions you probably have is, How much is the boat?
In this episode, we break down the cost of our Tartan 37, going into the buying process, closing expenses and transaction costs in detail. We talk about how...
