Skating & Surfing on a Bahamian Island | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 76
Finding a surf break is better than striking gold. It’s pure joy, or what surfers call “the stoke.” Kirk’s been on the hunt for waves since we left SoCal.
We Suck at Fishing. What do we Eat? – Ep. 75
What do you eat when you live on a boat, but you are terrible at fishing? In this episode we share a bunch of recipes we make onboard.
Finding Balance in the Rhythm of Life Aboard – Ep. 69
If you think we have this whole life thing figured out, don’t let us fool you! We constantly feel like we’re never getting enough done, that we’re falling behind, and that life is moving too quickly. Anyone else feel like it’s a struggle to find balance in life?
Is it the JOURNEY, or the DESTINATION? | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 68

Our diesel engine, Mr. Beke, is getting some serious upgrades. In Part 1, we installed a new heat exchanger, water pump and crank shaft pulley.

The Wind Did It, I Swear – Ep. 62.1
Glad to be (nearly) done with our bottom job, we move on to our diesel engine, which needs maintenance and upgrades. ‘Course, no boat project is without hurdles. We get a serpentine pulley kit which proves to be more difficult to DIY than advertised

Making Money While Sailing – Ep. 46
How do you afford to travel on a sailboat? What do you do for work? What is your budget? Did you have debt? How did you untether yourself from an office? In this episode, we share how we built 3 separate remote income streams which allowed us us to jump on a boat and go cruising.
