Boat Repair is EASY (Once You’ve Done it Wrong First!) | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 102
When we first bought our sailboat, we didn't know anything about boat repair. Now, a few years and dozens of boat projects later, we've acquired quite a bit of experience. With similar projects popping up a second time we don’t feel so clueless anymore! ...
Babies Don’t Belong in Boatyards | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 101
We’re back to the boat!! This is our fourth season aboard — but this time, baby Renata is along for the ride! The boat needs some work before we splash, as usual. In the past, Kirk and I would live in the boatyard, sleeping in the van and working ever...
Why These SAILORS Are Buying LAND | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 100
For the past four years, we’ve lived as nomads, splitting our time between cruising and working on Soulianis, and driving around in our van, Chip, to see family & friends, while hunting for real estate. It’s been a dream for us to travel, but we...

Is This the End? | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 98
Huge life changes are on the horizon! We’ve known for a while that our Tartan 37 won’t be our “forever” boat. With a baby on the way, she’s getting a little small; but we’re also ready to start approaching sailing in a whole new way. Knowing th...
3 Years Aboard, What’s Next? | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 97
This is it — our very last sail for just the two of us, before we add another crew member! We look back on the three years we’ve spent on our boat, what’s fun and not so fun about monohulls, and what our biggest goal in life is. Hope you enjoy! Laur...
Every Day CAN’T be Like THIS… | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 96
…because then it wouldn’t be special! The weather, wind and waves all came together on our sail from Marco Island up to Ft Myers. Even our erratic (and nearly departed) auto helm, Otto von Cranky, decided to pull some weight! As our cruising journey as...
Our Favorite Sail of the Year | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 93
This gorgeous sail in the blue water of the Atlantic was one for the books, despite Kirk doing lots of fishing and no catching, and Lauren almost losing her breakfast. Join us as we sail fifty miles south against the Gulf Stream along the east coast of Flo...
Lightning or High Wind — What’s WORSE at Anchor?⚡️💨 | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 92
Tough question to answer isn’t it? We get to ponder this while several storm systems hand out lightning bolts and wind gusts aplenty in this episode! If bad weather is on the horizon, our instinct is to find a safe anchorage and hole up while it blows o...
What We Did When the World Stopped | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 91
What would you do if it seemed like the world was ending? Would panic set in as you began thinking about all the things you didn’t do, the places you didn’t go, or the relationships you didn’t spend enough time nurturing? Or would you carry on living...
The Most Expensive Inch We’ve Ever Moved | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 90
“There’s good news and bad news.” When someone says that, is it ever really good? 😂 On our way south down the east coast of Florida, we stop in Stuart to have a professional rigger from Mack Sails take a look over our standing rigging.

Don’t Go Chasing Narwhals. Or Do! | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 87
The boat is afloat, and we are on our way south! Just because we left the yard though doesn’t mean the boat work is finished. Duh. We still need to tune the rig, bend on the sails and climb the mast to attach the instruments. There’s a bunch of plumbin...
We Get a SURPRISE on Splash Day! | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 86
We’re makin’ moves. The mast goes up, the engine gets a checkup, as does the rudder assembly. It’s time to get the boat back in the water — after we figure out how to finagle the centerboard back into its trunk. But that’s not all... Big changes...
