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 Michiga...

Savor the Last Sail | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 52

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 ...
Fast Sailing Overnight to Key West | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 50

“Kinda My Worst Nightmare” | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 49

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 quit...
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 when...

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. We spent some time at anchor, and one day at the dock. We enjoy some gorgeous suns...
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, ...
Our Love/Hate Relationship with Sailing | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 41
It’s finally starting to feel like we’re cruising! In this episode, we prep for our longest sail yet: 190 miles from St. Joseph Point to Clearwater. We give you a peak inside our ditch kit, install a MOB (man overboard) device in each of our lifejacket...
