Sailing a Freshwater Fjord in The North Channel | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 55
With Soulianis on the hard in Florida, we take our van up to The North Channel of Lake Huron and hop back on a sailboat! We meet up with two couples who are seasoned sailors (our “boat parents” from Episode 13) who take us on a tour of their favorite spots over five days. We sail, paddle, hike, and...
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 Michigan, then back again, all to visit family, frien...
Saying Goodbye to Our Boat | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 53
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. We’ve never left our boat for this long before, and do everything we can think of to prepare her for the brutal summer heat, humidity and UV rays...
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. Join us for our last sail of the season, and our haulout into a landlocked boatyard on the west...
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...
Fast Sailing Overnight to Key West | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 50
The seemingly smallest thing can drastically change the experience of a journey on the sea. Like forgetting to take seasickness meds. Then what a difference a few hours makes — from night to day, from dark ominous waves to calm electric blue sea. Sail with us to Key West! Hope you enjoy! Lauren &am...
“Kinda My Worst Nightmare” | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 49
What makes your palms go clammy? Gives you a cold sweat? For both of us, swimming in murky water under a boat is one of our worst nightmares. Time to face our fears! We dive in to clean the hull, in preparation for our sail to Key West. Hope you enjoy! Lauren & Kirk *** Sailing Soulianis Shop...
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...
What Young Cruising Couples Do for Fun | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 45
-- Get the Energy Audit & Battery Bank Sizing Tool -- In this episode we continue south on a beautiful downwind daysail from Venice Beach to Boca Grande Pass, then spend a few days anchored at Cayo Costa State Park. We noticed a couple of younger cruisers drop their anchor next to us, so we dr...
In Search of the Sun, Finding the Bottom | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 44
We will be donating all proceeds from this video to PERC to support the Abaco islands. * If you’d like to donate to the Bahamas rescue & disaster recovery efforts, we recommend the organizations below. We’re not affiliated with either group, but have researched and confirmed their authenticity....
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 sunshine, and run from a storm. We travel some days,...
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
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 lifejackets, and test our PLB (personal locating beacon). ...
First Sail in the Gulf of Mexico | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 40
We set off on our first sail in the Gulf of Mexico! After a day trip to Pensacola through the GICW (Gulf Intracoastal Waterway) with Kirk’s pops, we visit Destin via car to inquire about Destin pass. We were keen on stopping with the boat because it seemed like a fun town to explore, but the pass is...
Enough Boat Work, WE’RE GOING SAILING! | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 39
RAISE THE SAILS!! Woot woot, we’re going SAILING!! After installing two of our six solar panels, we fire up the engine to make sure Mr. Beke still runs, and we’re off the dock. We cross Mobile Bay chauffeured by a pod of dolphins, and enter the GICW (Gulf Intracoastal Waterway) which takes us to LuL...
Glad THAT’S Over | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 38
This one is bittersweet. On one hand, the battery upgrade is a smashing success. Kirk completes the installation of our new battery bank, and we now we have all the juice we need. On the other, our arch project is a complete and utter disaster. We can’t tell you how glad we are to be done editing th...
Why You Should Do Your Own Boat Work | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 37
We planned to complete TWO big projects while in Mobile, AL: 1) upgrading our battery bank & 2) fabricating a solar arch with dinghy davits. After much deliberation, we decided to DIY the batteries and hire out the arch fabrication. The battery bank and electrical system upgrade was nothing to ...
DIY or Hire a Pro? A Tale of Two Boat Projects | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 36
Our boat wasn’t ready for full-time cruising when we bought her. This was perfectly fine; we’d rather add necessary items ourselves and learn them inside and out through the process, than pay for systems already in place that may not be exactly what we want, or are old and need to replacing anyway. ...
ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY BECOME A SAILBOAT AND IMMEDIATELY SAIL THE WORLD | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 34
Even though the mast is back up and we’re officially a sailboat again(!), we’ve got a scary long list of boat projects to complete before we can leave the dock in Mobile, Alabama. In this video we bend the sails back on, replace the kitchen plumbing, and do a bit of varnishing, finish woodworking a...
We’re a Sailboat Again! | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 33
We put the mast back up and we’re pretty dang stoked about it. The electrical is reconnected, the boom goes back on, and Kirk takes a stab at tensioning our standing rigging himself. Soulianis is finally feeling more like a sailboat again. Hope you enjoy, Lauren & Kirk P.S. If you’d like more...
