Launching our Boat on the Chicago River & Lake Michigan – AHOD 4 – 1995 Larson 310 Cabrio
Hey all! Sorry again for the non-sailboat content. We don't need to re-hash the boatyard rule changes (you can hear all about them in Episode 3), but those changes have given us a little bit of time to work out the logistics of transitioning from land life in Chicago to Boat Life in the Carib...
Buying our first boat!!! #boatlife – All Hahns on Deck Introduction
Hi All! We are All Hahns on Deck, a couple looking to escape the mundane and sail for new horizons. You may be asking yourself how two landlocked Missourians joined the boating community and eventually bought a 1980 Gulfstar 50. Well, this is the tale of how Kirstin and I met, married, and joined...
Sail from Bowers Harbor
Our first big sail delivering Resande from Bowers Harbor to Muskegon Lake Michigan - October 2020
Last Sail in the Great Lakes: Chicago to the Calumet River | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 21
Sailing into Chicago was pretty surreal for us. We first began hatching cruising plans while living in the city ten years ago. Now, looking back at the shoreline we used to walk along, a sailboat floating only in our imaginations, it feels like we’ve come full circle, our dream now a very real 20,00...
We Can Sail Anywhere in the World from Here | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 20
This is it! After years of preparation, we’re finally untying the dock lines, leaving our homeport, and pointing our bow south. Our first stop is Chicago, Illinois. It’s 50 nautical miles from Racine, Wisconsin, to Belmont Harbor, where our friends Katharine and Jon have offered us the use of their...
Liveaboards to Cruisers: Final Preparations | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 19
Just one week is left before we depart our home port of Racine, Wisconsin — for good!?! — and take off south down the river. The list of projects, errands, and to-dos is still a mile long. We need to buy anchor chain, install an anchor swivel, hook up plumbing to our secondary water tank, install s...
Drilling Holes & Laying Fiberglass: Installing a Windlass | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 18
Settle in… we’ve got our first 20+ min episode for you! The river trip is right around the corner, and our preparations start getting serious. The list of boat projects we want to complete (as discussed in Ep 15) before leaving Lake Michigan is LONG. If, hypothetically, we had to pick just one proje...

GOODBYE Marine Head & Holding Tank, HELLO Composting Toilet | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 17
A leaky marine head can be a very shitty situation. At one point during our shakedown cruise around Lake Michigan, (thanks to a combination of rollicking seas, a leaky hand pump, and plain ignorance) we ended up with toilet water where it SHOULDN’T be — outside the bowl. Thankfully it was mostly con...
Dinghy Outboards are Tricky Little Beasts | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 16
Back in our homeport of Racine, we start tackling the long list of projects we want to finish before leaving for our journey down “The Ditch.” Kirk researches the heck out of LED bulbs. He determines the warm Kakanuo bulb to be the best option — based on color cast, energy consumption and brightne...
Results of our Shakedown Sail | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 15
That’s a wrap on our shakedown sail! In this episode, after sailing back across Lake Michigan to our home port of Racine, Wisconsin, and getting a little weird during the crossing (being alone on a boat definitely makes you go a little batty), we talk through everything we learned during our 3-week ...
Freshwater Surfing on Lake Michigan | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 14
Freshwater surfing! Kirk’s beyond stoked to get a chance to surf Lake Michigan. After leaving Charlevoix, we snuck into Leland just before a cold front moved in. The front brought strong winds that ended up sticking around for three days, which prevented us from being able to leave, but on the fli...
Summer in Michigan is Downright Lovely | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 13
Summer in Michigan is magic, because it’s so fleeting. It usually arrives sometime in June, and by the time you’ve attended a family get together and a wedding or two, it’s already August, and you’re wondering where the heck the time went… If you’re like most, you manage to squeeze in a week of vac...
Sailing to Charlevoix: A Childhood Dream ACHIEVED! | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 12
Every summer as Kirk was growing up, his family would visit Charlevoix, a quaint vacation town located on a skinny isthmus between Round Lake and Lake Michigan. Round Lake was a boating mecca; all sorts of craft paraded across its waters, waiting for the fuel dock, or a city marina slip, heading t...
Cruising the West Coast of Michigan | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 11
Our shakedown cruise is officially underway! After crossing Lake Michigan with Kirk’s dad, we arrive in Pentwater, MI where we meet up with the rest of Kirk’s family. It’s our first of many ports of call along Michigan’s west coast we visit over the next few weeks. Pentwater ends up being one of ou...
The LAKE MICHIGAN Crossing | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 10
It’s our FIRST OVERNIGHT PASSAGE! We set sail across Lake Michigan, leaving in the middle of the night to ride the fading winds of a storm. Kirk’s dad arrives just before midnight to join us for the trip. The sail starts out with 15+ knts on the nose, and 5’ waves which drop to a couple feet by the...
Preparing for our Shakedown Sail | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 9
Products in this video: Tea Kettle - Manual Food Processor - We bought the boat, daysailed the boat, and have taken our first overnight trip to Milwaukee. Now we’re planning to sail up and down the west coast of Michigan, during which we want to spend some time at anchor. This multi-week trip wil...
First Sail on our Tartan 37 | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 8
Until now, family and friends have always sailed with us on our Tartan 37, but this time we sail her by ourselves, up to Milwaukee and back. Leaving the dock at our marina in Racine is tricky. The dock is on the Root River (which frequently floods and drains), and is situated only a couple hundred ...
Moving Aboard our Sailboat & Freedom Party | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 7
The Tartan 37 is ours, and it’s time to celebrate! With the 4th of July arriving just days after we close on the boat, we decide it’s rather fitting to pop some bubbly and celebrate our own new-found freedom… from land! The hardest part of moving aboard is figuring out where to put our stuff. Fortu...
WE BUY A TARTAN 37 SAILBOAT | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 6
WE FINALLY BUY A SAILBOAT. It feels like we’ve been searching for a boat forever! In this episode we finally buy a boat, a beautiful Tartan 37. Before we find the Tartan, we look at two other options in the Milwaukee area: a Pearson 38 and a Southerly 35. The Pearson had been left on the hard for a...
Our Sailboat Purchase Fell Apart | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 5
Our offer was accepted on a Morgan 382! The boat is in fabulous condition, but still needs a bit of work. Fortunately she doesn’t need repairs, just finishing. Kirk and I do kind of like the idea of finishing out the systems ourselves. The woodworking, on the other hand, couldn’t be further above ou...
From California to the Midwest & Catamarans to Monohulls | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 4
There are literally thousands upon thousands of boats on the west coast, and we can’t find one to fit the bill? Up until this point, we had limited our boat search to catamarans, with a price tag of $50,000 or less. Yes, we admit, we probably could find a unicorn faster. But, since we haven’t found ...
