Water Water Everywhere, in Search of a Drop to Drink – Ep. 78
Crystal clear water surrounds the islands in the Bahamas, but you can’t drink a lick of it. No surprise, it’s salty. The islands themselves have virtually no groundwater either, so where does it come from? There’s three options: It’s either shipped in, desalinated, or collected from the sky.
Something, something, BIKINIS, something else, and a SAILBOAT! – Ep. 77

The Loveliest Sail | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 74

You Asked: “How far behind are the videos?” | Sailing Soulianis

How to Slay the Seasickness Monster – Ep. 71

Can We Look this Creature in the Eyes… and Eat It? – Ep. 70
After a month in Marathon, we’re nearly finished with our DIY bimini. With just a few more finishing touches, including modifications for the backstay, the radar pole, and the solar panels, we’ll be ready to take off to The Bahamas.
Breaking out of Boat Jail! – Ep. 67
We broke out of boat jail (aka the boatyard) and are sailing south! On a frisky upwind sail across Charlotte Harbor, we break in our new headsail from Precision Sails; then our way to Fort Myers, we get a chance to fire up our Spirit 1.0 electric outboard from ePropulsion.
Failure to Launch – Ep. 66
The water is so close now we can smell it. After trailering Soulianis out of our landlocked boatyard, she’s now poised and ready for launch — right after we finish painting the centerboard with bottom paint.
