Last Sail in the Great Lakes: Chicago to the Calumet River | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 21

Summer in Michigan is Downright Lovely | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 13

Sailing to Charlevoix: A Childhood Dream ACHIEVED! | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 12

Our Sailboat Purchase Fell Apart | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 5
