Locks, Locks & More Locks on the Tenn-Tom Waterway | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 30

Some are more memorable th...
Against the Current: Ohio & Tennessee Rivers | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 29
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 — ...
Tackling the Mighty Mississippi | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 28
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...
All Alone… Illinois River to the Mississippi | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 27
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...

How to Run Aground in 8’ of Water When You Only Draw 4’ | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 24
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...
The Mast Comes Down | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 23

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...

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.

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...

That’s a wrap on our shakedown sail!
