    What a treat to find you back. Don’t be locked into doing a video a week just to show you sailing. Just be yourselves and invite us to join your journey with whatever content you choose. Love watching the interactions, life changes, challenges of a new family. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to whatever you decide to post.

    Way back in the last decade when you two arrived on the scene, it was obvious you were great content creators up there with the best from the get go. You are personable and always make interesting content with your own unique style. Great to see you back - long live Sailing Soulianis.

    Just when I thought I couldn't possibly love you any more, you name your boat Heart of Gold!
    Hitchhiker's Guide is my favorite series and the name is brilliant. So happy to see you and your beautiful family again.

    This is so honest, normal, and refreshing to see. So many UA-cam creators get into a niche and feel like they HAVE to stay that one kind of person or creator that gave them that initial online following. But, that isn't real life!
    People change and grow. And honestly, we came for the sailing but stayed for your personality and genuine love of life. Keep it up and keep loving and enjoying your family.
    The next 7 years will go faster than you could ever imagine.

    Welcome back guys! Kirk you are right - I for one watch the channel for the both of YOU - not just for the sailing. I am looking forward to whatever you care to share with us in the future. You are like my YT best friends and I have missed you. And Renata has gotten so big! I look forward to watching the kids grow over the coming years.

    When I saw the name Solianis I jumped on the video and thank goodness it was you guys. I've enjoyed watching your family grow and your respect for each other and how you guys work together. Takes me back to my family's boating time. Projects, that's life. The family that works together stay together. You helped make my day. Thank you.

    Way back when i think i said that you were the best sailing channel. What you actually were was the most honest, heart warming and throughly enjoyable channel - the sailing bit was just an added extra. So so good to see you back.

    @SkylinersYeti 3 місяці тому +7

    I tell my friends all of my projects will be done when I die. I am 75 years young our children are in late 40"s. Believe me they grow up fast. My advice is do not try to do everything at once. Concentrate on your family,. This can include sailing but so many things to do. Now is the time to shape memories for your children. There will be time for other adventures. We are not sailors but explore with a off road RV in the PNW. I do enjoy the concept of a trailerable sailboat. It gives the option to move from one water way to another. Regardless follow your hearts.

    Welcome back! You know a few of the people I follow on UA-cam either quit or slowed down in putting out videos. I live my sailing life through people like you. lol.

    Heart of Gold. So Douglas Addams fans and Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Universe. I can relate as a fan. Thought about renaming my boat that but just kept it the same as the previous owner had. Great minds think alike. No wonder I've been watching your channel since the beginning. Welcome back.

    I always enjoy seeing the 4 of you now, congrats! I am a 65yr old fart in Washington state. You 2 are the example of what young families should strive for. You 2 do what's good for you. Don't stress us missing a video, when you post we get it. Not depending on YT is smart, so keep making good decisions and when you are ready we will be ready for another video. Again Congrats on your new son.

    Thank you for making time to get back to us. We enjoy your voices, your style, your plans, your dreams, and your adventures. Good on ya for prioritizing what improvement you wanted most--a new boat name! And you already look so much happier once the new name was in place--and it really POPS! May you always find yourselves fully rested, fully funded, with full tummies and a heart that's overflowing with wonder and joy. Don't stress yourselves about schedules and improvements; your single most important job NOW is raising two healthy and happy children. Patience and tolerance and a gentle method of guiding behavior (theirs AND each others!) will see you through the coming years. And we'll have your backs. Ask when you need ideas or help. Ask when you're going to go traveling if you need destinations and opportunities or assistance. Your followers are everywhere, and we recognize the good people you are. We stand at your side wherever you go. Rick S.

    Welcome back! I have no idea who you watch on You Tube if anyone but I also watch Sailing GBU. They have recently transitioned to living on land as well. It’s still fun for us “ground pounders” to watch them construct things and do their garden, etc. People change, lives change, you change. Life is not a linear route and curves are constantly being thrown at you; take that from a 70ish person! We still enjoy watching you.

  • @granthamilton2695
    @granthamilton2695 3 місяці тому +2

    I agree with others that essentially you two are the main attraction on this channel, so it’s about who you are, what you do and how you go about it. If your content becomes forced then it won’t be the real you. So sail on to Soulianis and do it your way. Great to see the new “tin lid”

    I don't even remember how I stumbled onto your videos, but was pleasantly surprised to find two awesome folks I spent some time in college skiing with having these amazing adventures. The sporadic check-ins feel like surprise visits and warm hugs from old friends, I'm here regardless of content. And my kiddo is now 7.5 and I can say, watching them discover your passions (and then kick your ass at them), is one of the best pieces of parenting. Cheers guys!

    Missed you guys! I foresee a lot of Neal Young being sung to your boat in the future 😂
    Wanted to chime in and say that beyond you guys being so fun to watch, the “thing” that I watch for for that no one else I’ve found has is that you’re not full time salts and you have a trailerable boat. I’m trying to get to where my wife and I can do extended trips on our Hunter 26 water ballast, but always be able to trailer in, out and sonewhere completely different. Thanks for helping me see how that is possible.

  • @robw2379
    @robw2379 3 місяці тому +2

    Great to see you again!
    I see from the comments that half the audience agrees with me that Tritanic is the cheesiest, and therefore best, of the trimaran boat names. If you ever find yourself with a task similar to "remove wooden plaque from boat" again, the tool to use is a router with a straight or mortising bit in it. Just set the depth of cut slightly less that the thickness of your plaque, and you can plow it off from top to bottom and then scrape or sand off the residual.
    Stay well.😀

    We love the inspiration behind Soulianis and Heart of Gold 💛🩵 Life naturally comes with pivots, and as fellow UA-camrs and content creators who used to be internationally traveling before pivoting to buying a boat and doing the Great Loop, to our latest pivot of buying a van and converting it ourselves, we can resonate and understand your challenges of "what is our channel about" and the natural pivots that life takes you on as a couple/family. We thoroughly enjoyed your honesty and transparency in this video 💕

    First of all, welcome Mr junior... Lauren, you glow with motherhood... Beautiful... Renata is a really intelligent little person... Kirt measuring the squareness of the name and trying to find level, That is what makes you such a clever innovator... Did you two think you produced a sailing channel... No no no no... You documented a life journey, and we the audience admired yours... At the time, it was in the chapter of adventure sailing... You are still on an adventure, the chapter has opened on a new page... Regardless of what this now chapter unfolds, you are beautiful decent people and a pleasure to follow... If you have a desire to share... Go forth and prosper... 🖖

  • @D.Idahome
    @D.Idahome 2 місяці тому

    Appreciate why you left. Welcome back to the next journey, down-home. We brought up our family in the northwest, sailing whenever we could, on the Puget Sound and Canada. It was the perfect solution. The kids got older, graduated, and we moved closer to the job, then moved three more times. We’ve now retired and so very happy we slooowed down when the kids were young and enjoyed sail life. We are land locked in Idaho and love it, back home where I grew up.
    You 2x2 are doing it right! Stick to your instincts, family first, enjoying life at home with a sailing passion to come ‘when’ you and the family are ready. Good luck and enjoy the homestead, whether on land or on water.

    Hey guys I'm so happy that your back!! I need to head to work but had to comment before I go. Couple of thoughts: I started watching your channel way back when and I admit it was for the sailing. But after a while, I quickly realized that it was your personalities that pulled me in. For me, the channel is about you both and your adventures through life and that is enough. Please do not ever change the name as you guys will always be Sailing Soulianis whether on or off the water. Again great to see you, your young family and I wish you all the best. (Thank god for UA-cam notifications!) Andy

    Glad to see you all back! I hope you get back on the water, and I'm also intrigued by the mix of water/land that a bunch of sailing channels have been doing recently. Not sure if it's a post-covid reaction (or for you all a very understandable having-tiny-babies thing!) or long-term blend but I appreciate seeing the combination.

    Congratulations on your achievements during your absence and looking forward to your future endeavors. There was a channel called 'Free Range Sailing', they sailed around Australia and once they returned to home port, they sold the boat and moved onto a block of land where they are now harvesting their own food and doing land tasks and renamed their channel to 'Free Range Living'. Good to see you back.

    Welcome back! Congratulations on adding another precious bundle of joy to your lovely family! Cherish each day with each other. Before you know it they are off to college and you can’t believe how fast time has passed. Thank goodness for FaceTime, my kids are scattered across the U.S. but I still get to see them every day or every other day. Your kids will always be your babies no matter how old they are.
