Failure to Launch | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 66
The water is so close now we can smell it. After trailering Soulianis out of our landlocked boatyard, she’s now poised and ready for launch — right after we finish painting the centerboard with bottom paint. The launch goes well at first. No leaks, and the motor runs. One problem: forward gear doe...
Let’s Do It the Hard Way | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 65
Remember the horrible arch saga? Well, we’re officially putting an end to that chapter… and nope, we didn’t hire another contractor — instead we decided to build a bimini ourselves. The reason we hired out the job in the first place was because we wanted a custom arch that would match the lines of...
WAIT, We’re Doing ALL THAT Before Launching? | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 64
Does the boat project list ever end...? It must. It has to. Or else our boat may as well have a mailbox next to its jack stands. We’re down to the last few items on our project list — and that’s because we threw a bunch off, citing them as non-essential. We’re so close, just need to wrap up a few l...
How Many Quacks does it Take to Remove a Fuel Tank? | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 63
When we smelled diesel in our cabin, we knew we had a problem. We just hoped it would turn out to be an easy fix… but how often does THAT happen? Finding the source our fuel leak leads us into another big boat project, forcing us to postpone our launch date, and requiring — as all new boat project...
“Don’t Do This, You’re an Idiot” | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 62.2
If you haven’t seen Part 1 yet, go watch it here! Our diesel engine, Mr. Beke, is getting some serious upgrades. In Part 1, we installed a new heat exchanger, water pump and crank shaft pulley. Now, with some DIY hardware fabrication and wiring modifications, our Westerbeke 40 will have a new 120A...
The Wind Did It, I Swear | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 62.1
This is Part 1/2. Part 2 is now live here: --- Glad to be (nearly) done with our bottom job, we move on to our diesel engine, which needs maintenance and upgrades. ‘Course, no boat project is without hurdles. We get a serpentine pulley kit which proves to be more difficult to DIY than advertised, ...
Painting our Boat with Powdered Pennies! | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 61
Horror stories abound across the interwebs about Coppercoat. We've read and watched just about all of them! If you look, there are a ton of rave reviews out there, too. Sometimes, you just need to go with your gut. Our instincts told us that if we followed the process correctly, Coppercoat was...
This ONE LITTLE THING could SINK our Boat | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 59
Believe it or not, this ONE TINY little hose clamp is all that’s keeping our boat from potentially sinking to the bottom. It’s part of our centerboard operation, and unfortunately there’s not much we can do to improve it, except to ensure the clamps and hoses are in good condition. So we tear the wh...
WHAT will we FIND? Returning to the Boat after 5 Months Away | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 58
After 5 months away from the boat, we return to the boatyard in Florida to find out how Soulianis survived over hurricane season. We’ve never left her alone for this long before, and really hope the preparation we did before we left protected her from all the ills that can befall lonely boats: mold,...
What Happens when We’re Not On The Boat | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 57
Our sailing off-season — driving around in Chip, hanging out in the Great Lakes, sailing, surfing & swimming — has been a fun diversion from the boat. Now it’s time to get back to Florida. We finish our last big van project (building a bed), and also go behind the scenes at the Joshua Tree Skin ...
Exploring NORTH of the BORDER by Boat & Van | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 56
We’re slowly making our way in our van, Chip, around Lake Huron. In this episode we leave Manitoulin Island, hopping a ferry to Tobermory. The Bruce Peninsula is stunning — high cliffs topped with colorful plants and Bahamian-like blue water. We park the van on the beach, and sail a Sunfish on Lake ...
Sailing a Freshwater Fjord in The North Channel | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 55
With Soulianis on the hard in Florida, we take our van up to The North Channel of Lake Huron and hop back on a sailboat! We meet up with two couples who are seasoned sailors (our “boat parents” from Episode 13) who take us on a tour of their favorite spots over five days. We sail, paddle, hike, and...
Vanlife: Our Summer Home on Wheels | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 54
With Soulianis tucked away in the boatyard, we try out #vanlife and go tearing across the country in our new transit van, Chip! (Does driving from south to north count as across? Well, either way…) We leave Florida for Wisconsin, then hop over to Michigan, then back again, all to visit family, frien...
Saying Goodbye to Our Boat | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 53
It’s goodbye, but only for a while. We’re leaving Soulianis on the hard in Florida during hurricane season to return to the Midwest to visit our families. We’ve never left our boat for this long before, and do everything we can think of to prepare her for the brutal summer heat, humidity and UV rays...
Savor the Last Sail | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 52
With just a few days left before we haul the boat out for hurricane season, we sail as much as we can — even when the wind is so light we’re hardly moving at all — to savor our last moments on the water. Join us for our last sail of the season, and our haulout into a landlocked boatyard on the west...

Sailing Backwards | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 51
Buy a sailboat, then sail over the horizon, right? Oh if it was that simple! Often you zigzag, and sometimes you backtrack. In our last episode, we made it to the Florida Keys. But before pressing on any further, we had some big projects to take care of — including applying new antifouling paint to...
Fast Sailing Overnight to Key West | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 50
The seemingly smallest thing can drastically change the experience of a journey on the sea. Like forgetting to take seasickness meds. Then what a difference a few hours makes — from night to day, from dark ominous waves to calm electric blue sea. Sail with us to Key West! Hope you enjoy! Lauren &am...
“Kinda My Worst Nightmare” | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 49
What makes your palms go clammy? Gives you a cold sweat? For both of us, swimming in murky water under a boat is one of our worst nightmares. Time to face our fears! We dive in to clean the hull, in preparation for our sail to Key West. Hope you enjoy! Lauren & Kirk *** Sailing Soulianis Shop...
Sailing the Miserable Mile | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 48
The Miserable Mile is a stretch of super busy waterway near Ft Myers with an incredibly narrow channel. Powerboats fly this way and that, wakes churn the water, and straying from the channel even a few feet means running hard aground. In short, it’s quite aptly named! We have a grand time sailing r...
Storm’s Coming! Riding it Out at Anchor | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 47
Storms are scary on a boat. Your entire home rocks around like a whirly-gig, and you’re never quite sure if it’s going to stay put, or go careening off and crash into rocks, land, or another boat! Up until now, we’ve been securely tied to a dock whenever a storm has hit. This is our first time at an...
What Young Cruising Couples Do for Fun | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 45
-- Get the Energy Audit & Battery Bank Sizing Tool -- In this episode we continue south on a beautiful downwind daysail from Venice Beach to Boca Grande Pass, then spend a few days anchored at Cayo Costa State Park. We noticed a couple of younger cruisers drop their anchor next to us, so we dr...
