Captain’s Log: Crossing the Gulf Stream | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 72
Crossing the Gulf is a big milestone and right of passage for any sailor heading south. With a swift northern current churning up extra chop it can make for a bumpy ride. We've heard plenty of horror stories, but know to take all that dock talk with a grai...
You Asked: “How far behind are the videos?” | Sailing Soulianis
“How far are you behind real time?” We get asked this question a lot. All videos online are behind real-time by some amount, unless you’re watching a live stream. Some are more-so than others, and ours no doubt, have a significant delay. Why? We exp...
How to Slay the Seasickness Monster | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 71

Finding Balance in the Rhythm of Life Aboard | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 69
If you think we have this whole life thing figured out, don’t let us fool you! We constantly feel like we’re never getting enough done, that we’re falling behind, and that life is moving too quickly. Anyone else feel like it’s a struggle to find ba...
Is it the JOURNEY, or the DESTINATION? | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 68
After spending as much time in boatyards as we have, it might make you wonder: Is it all worth it? In this episode, we set off on our first overnighter of the season, with a destination of Marathon in the Florida Keys. We’ll finish our bimini here, whic...
Breaking out of Boat Jail! | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 67
We broke out of boat jail (aka the boatyard) and are sailing south! On a frisky upwind sail across Charlotte Harbor, we break in our new headsail from Precision Sails; then our way to Fort Myers, we get a chance to fire up our Spirit 1.0 electric outboard ...
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, a...
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 w...
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-essen...
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...
