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.

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.

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...

This is Bliss: Offshore Sailing at it’s Finest (Calico Skies Sailing Ep. 31)
Sailing is about the journey, not the destination and this episode is evidence of that. It begins on the fifth day of our 1,000 mile passage from North Carolina to Nova Scotia, Canada. We continue to encounter light but favorable winds and comfortable seas. As we make our way through the Atlantic we...
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...

7 Days of Cruising | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 43
Imagine what one week of cruising looks like, and you’ll never get two identical weeks. BUT— if we had to pick one, these 7 days are pretty typical of our cruising life.

Life Aboard a Sailboat | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 42
After months spent mostly at docks, we venture out to live on the hook (which happens to be less than a block away from a grocery store, but hey, baby steps). This one has a little bit of everything. We pick up where we left off in the previous episode, with Lauren cooking breakfast underway, and ...
Our Love/Hate Relationship with Sailing | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 41
