Captain’s Log: Crossing the Gulf Stream | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 72
Crossing the gulf is a big milestone and a right of passage for anyone heading south. With a quick northern current churning up extra chop it can make for a bumpy ride. We've heard all the horror stories, but know to take all that dock talk with a grain of salt.
You Asked: “How far behind are the videos?” | Sailing Soulianis
“How far are you behind real time?” We get asked this question a lot. All videos online are behind real-time by some amount, unless you’re watching a live stream. Some are more-so than others, and ours no doubt, have a significant delay. Why?
How to Slay the Seasickness Monster – Ep. 71
This is it! We’re off to The Bahamas…or so we plan. After last minute provisioning, we leave Marathon and set sail to cross the Gulf Stream. Even though we’re making good time, beating to windward takes its toll, and we decide to call an audible.
Can We Look this Creature in the Eyes… and Eat It? – Ep. 70

Is it the JOURNEY, or the DESTINATION? | Sailing Soulianis – Ep. 68
After spending as much time in boatyards as we have, it might make you wonder: Is it all worth it? In this episode, we set off on our first overnighter of the season.
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.

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.
