Why These SAILORS Are Buying LAND | Sailing Soulianis - Ep. 100

[@WCTarheel]

You are living the life that so many strive for, but fail to achieve. Congratulations on your achievements! You are one of the successes.

[@HauntedFlorida]

Renata has really upped your COOL FACTOR guys!!!!

[@jimmartinson5279]

For those who work hard, dreams do come true. Congratulations.

[@khyvich]

Just signed on a lake front property myself today. It was FOUR YEARS of negotiation. Congratulations!!!

[@ellenorbovay5226]

You guys are smart to buy land, and the kid is so lucky to have you as parents because she will probably inherit it. My wife and I bought 160 acres 20 years ago, and we have been enjoying it ever since. Its a decent investment and it always brings contentment, which is good for your mental health. Land is the ultimate asset, get as much as you can afford.

[@tbella57]

You guys are the cutest family...I literally smile so much when watching your videos.🙂 Best of luck in all of your future endeavors.

[@tomtock]

I was very fortunate to raise my family at the foot of Avalanche Hill in Boyne City. From there I would walk to the Harborage Marina where you were at and sail to work in Charlevoix to my office across the street from the city marina that you also stood at. It was a very special way to live for over a decade. From Charlevoix, we launched on many sailing adventures across the upper lakes and the North Channel. We were also very fortunate to live downtown Harbor Springs within walking distance of the boat and finally on Walloon Lake.

[@LoveShackBBQ]

What time frame did you live there? We lived on Front street right at where the boats were put up. Dad had his Power boat in the Marina for year, her name was “Kira-da-Naid” and had a beautiful painted transom. Ive got so many sweet memories of that town. We were there in the 80’s before the condos went up on the lake shore. There was a railroad track and a caboose. Rumor had it that 6 pack Ed wintered in it. My dad knew him and said he was actually a millionaire.

[@mattf49006]

nice piece of Pure Michigan folks...the adventure continues

[@bradheath4927]

I follow a few sailing channels; all of which extol the wonders of travel and adventure. I like that, too. But you’re the only channel that balances that wanderlust with the virtue of place. Locality and belonging are vital to human thriving. Thanks for striking the balance.

[@randybourdon2791]

Beautiful piece of property guys, so much you can do with this. Glad that you have hydro and at least a place to live in until you build. Congratulations to you both, well done. Now you need to buy a toboggan!

[@chhy2204]

[@lyndacuppage7353]

Beautiful piece of property. Renata is definitely a “mini mom”. Congratulations

[@matthewmonroe5338]

So happy for you. You're family is just awesome. Congratulations on your land. Patience paid off! Our new Grandson is just 2 months old. It is awesome watching you with your daughter and our son, his wife and their baby. It warms my heart. Best wishes. I am so glad you continue to post videos.

[@clt29]

Feeling a bit nostalgic. I spent so many years in Harbor Springs area. Sailing, playing on the beaches, skiing in the winter. Thanks for the time to reminisce.

[@00708046]

Congrats on everything. Good delivery , a beautiful baby and now your very own dreamland . I'm really glad for you !

[@jerrymcintire7902]

We were looking in the same area and are closing this week on a smaller piece, just under two acres. Glad to hear that you found a happy place. Renata has some wonderful adventures coming.

[@mattchapman5941]

Welcome home you guys! Congratulations on all of your successes. It has been so fun watching you guys over the years and seeing you back in Michigan is awesome. I hope we get some more great lakes footage along with all your other MI adventures. Hope to bump into you all someday on the water or in the woods. Congrats!

[@debrabrandell809]

Just found your vlogs yesterday, and love them! We have property near Charlevoix and completely understand the desire to settle there. Beautiful country! Thanks for sharing your adventures and sweet Renata!

[@PreacherwithoutaPulpit]

Congratulations on the little one and on finally finding that place you can call home. I'm so happy things worked out for you kids. I look forward to many more years of adventures and thank you so much for sharing them with us. God Bless...

[@elisecundy1821]

What an awesome piece of property. Just love it!! ❤ and to see you all together. I can feel such love between you all. It's wonderful to watch. I am so happy for you. Congratulations. And I look forward to more adventures. Take care and be safe. And remember home is where the heart is. ❤

[@SailingSoulianis]

Thanks so much Elise 🥰

[@elisecundy1821]

I am so happy for you all. 💗

[@TerriMcAllister]

Permaculture... YESSSSS! I'm deeply obsessed with both sailing and permaculture. You guys just tick all the boxes. Congrats on the land and following your dreams.

[@justacuppajoe]

Hooray! And what a sweetie your little girl is. :)

[@southerntexashomestead5028]

Congratulations on your new home. It is great to see you found the perfect location. I purchased 5 acres in S.E. Texas with a small farm house and out building for the same reason. I down sized my sailboat from 60 feet to a 25 foot trailer sailor that is still blue water capable. I'm one hour inland from the coast of Beaumont, Texas. Love having a farm & the boat life together. Good luck with your new adventure. S/V Cork ~

[@SailingSoulianis]

Very cool

[@catherinehackett7722]

What a beautiful spot!! I know you'll love having this as home base. Looking forward to all your future adventures. Renata is so beautiful 💗

[@akjhome]

@sailingsoulianis I spend the best parts of my childhood on Lake Charlevoix. I learned to sail there. I get it. Congrats.

[@marcvandam3543]

How AWESOME, Congrats on Baby, Land and new LIFE..

[@adamcarr8738]

Congratulations on Episode 100! Outstanding channel

[@darlenebatwinski4182]

Congratulations on your new baby and your new property!! My husband and I love watching your videos!

[@TonyZanoska]

Congratulations 🎊 on episode #100! You have inspired us all.

[@jameshull6776]

congratulations , it's a beautiful property you now have. I wish you all the absolute best for the future and have really enjoyed the journey to date

[@ps4peace]

Congratulations on the property!! Fun to see how quickly she has grown, so happy for you guys & making your dreams come true.

[@fxpthl]

Welcome back kids & kidlette! It has been so long since we have seen your happy family. I5 is hard for me to realize how long I have been following your life, from before you got Soulianis to now, land owners. Reattach is precious and she is a spitting image of her lovely Mom! No offense Dad.

[@markanibal3254]

Congratulations! Great base from which to sail the Great Lakes in the summer!

[@peterfrebold]

.... missed the notification for this video and went looking, glad I did .... what an awesome piece of property, love your flat, rolly, hilly description and want. What a amazing view ....that sure was clear water in the marina, is the whole lake like that .... you two, three sure picked a great area to be looking for property, those towns, cities are so quaint and inviting and with sailing communities .... you mention permaculture food forest of which at this point I know nothing about. Greenhouses and hydroponics, aquaponics intrigue me though. .... back in the 80's when interest rates where just below 20%, was in a business heavily into real-estate. We were able to get Swiss financing of 4%. The one requirement that stuck in my mind to this day was that mortgagee had to have 60% equity. If the market does tumble, it has to go a long way before you would loose your chunk of dirt with improvements. ..... Lauren, had to laugh, tobogganing hill for Renata, and you wouldn't be out there taking just one more run .. smilin .. like the requirement and the emphasis put on it that you can get to any place in the world easily from there ... so plenty more adventures in your lives .... thx for sharing the peek into your lives .... and yes, as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....

[@catspaw3815]

That's a gorgeous chunk of land guys. Great contour and vegetation

[@tomcraddock244]

Congratulations on that beautiful property!! well done ! Fair winds and calm seas ⛵️

[@Horsewomann]

Welcome home! I love living in Michigan. Those woods look like prime territory for Morels in the spring! I bought some spores online last year and seeded a friends woods down the road. Had a bumper crop this spring- 18 POUNDS of morels!

[@SailingSoulianis]

Wow!!

[@Horsewomann]

No affiliation with them, just a happy customer.

[@jeepjeff9131]

Congratulations on your purchase and hope it provides everything you want and more. If you are looking for a settled in senior (62 yrs old from Bay City) to deer hunt your land yearly and I'll gladly split any harvest with you 50/50. I just enjoy the outdoors but hate being crowded.

[@SailingSoulianis]

We have TONS of deer. But at 9 acres it's still pretty small to be able to safely hunt on. Thanks for the offer!

[@jeepjeff9131]

@@SailingSoulianis Understood, good call. 🙂

[@scampofscamps8080]

You nailed it, a place to call home. We were in search for the same thing, found our 25 heavenly acres in rural East Texas. Now we have a place we call our homestead and it is home. We will continue to travel with our RV, but have a place to be self sustainable. Love the direction you are going.

[@wildaltarose]

This seems to be the perfect spot for all of you. I hope that you are very happy in your new home.

[@RMBlake007]

Welcome to Northern Michigan where I lived and worked for many years! Still retain life-long friendships there and return a few times per year even though I live out West. I even know a few sailors in the Cheboygan area. I wish you a great 2022!! When I Subscribed, I had no idea you had ties to Michigan; but must have felt those "nice people" vibes :)

[@dustoff1472]

Congratulations. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.

[@lesstoddard6779]

"Babies are weird..." Truer words have not been spoken. Love from the Maine coast to Renata!

[@chuckborghoff8443]

It is so great to watch your life journey. I have always thought you have worked so hard to achieve your goals. That is what makes your story so interesting to me. Congrats on finding your future home.

[@SailingSoulianis]

Thanks so much, so glad you’re enjoying the journey along with us!

[@Intimdator3]

Congrats, we just sold our Northern Michigan property this week, the U P will be our next adventure.

[@karlbass7895]

Congrats to the dirt owners! Long may they grin from ear to ear!!!

[@BabetteS]

Congratulations! There is truly nothing like a place to call home! Nice spot and all... :-)

[@soggybottom3463]

Congratulations, very well done! You know what they say about land, - they're not making it any more....👏👏🤗🤗

[@dc1544]

welcome to Michigan. I live across from Michigan Adventure Park.

[@CanAm_Sailing]

Congrats to you both on purchase of a NEW parcel of land.

[@andrewmullen4003]

So happy for your little family, go guys!!

[@latitudeash]

Cuteness all coming from moms side. She is soooo adorable 🥰. The land is perfect 👍🏼

[@traitorhatergetarope3163]

Congrats...... looking forward to the next chapter of your journey.... little one has all the crazy faces...🤙

[@sethile]

Man, that land and situation looks awesome! Congratulations!!

[@edkleinstuber2119]

as my father used to always say, "...they ain't making anymore land..." Nicely done

[@ackack612]

Well now, a BIG thumbs up for this one! Congrats.

[@bdphourde]

How nice! I live in central MI, so this will make things even more interesting!

[@SteveMorton]

Well done guys, a lovely property with such brilliant potential. Your baby daughter is such a sweetie. Good luck with all your future plans

[@Keiths_Trains_N_Stuff]

HI to you Lauren and what’s-his-name,,,cannot remember right now….I like your planning///If i had invested $23,000 on 5 acres? That would be worth a million dollars now - not far from Muirfield Golf Course…. Anyway, I want to support you, both. AND, CONGRATULATIONS on that BIG WIN over those wolverines….!!!! Priceless

[@Gracie-SavedByGrace]

What a find! And perfect plan!!! So very happy for you!!!! :)

[@Dequincy84]

Boyne City!!!! Yay!

[@sailandoar]

So happy for you guys !

[@markbias1466]

Another great episode, congratulations on your lovely daughter and your new acreage, until next time....

[@daneulekowski929]

Awesome episode. Congratulations on your purchase, looks like a great place to raise a family. Have fun guys

[@kentbaylis8464]

Congrats! So much more fun to be had.

[@JerryDLTN]

You could buy a high cube 40 foot storage container to put on your property to store your personal items in so you could AirBnB your house while you're on the boat.

[@jingbar]

You have made my day by posting a new video, you’re the perfect 3'some. Congratulations on the land purchase

[@BillAndersonNS]

Yea you ! Congrats to the three of you.

[@perryjones3951]

Congratulations! A perfect, beautiful location. We are delighted for you. Can’t wait to meet you on the water.

[@LoveShackBBQ]

Oh man! I grew up in Boyle City. I still love going home now and then, even though it became touristy.

[@obwan7217]

If you buy land I'll still follow and support you if you continue with the channel...Its about you guys sharing not just sailing.I think I've told you this in previous video's....Keep on sharing...

[@SailingSoulianis]

We're still figuring out if/how we're going to share the land side of the equation. It feels like there is definitely some interest there, and clearly there is an audience on KZbin for it. Figuring out that venn diagram of how much of our current audience is into that sort of thing is where we are now.

[@doogiek13]

Congratulations! I love northern Michigan. I used to vacation on Torch Lake from the late 60's through the 70's We would day trip to Charlivoix and Petosky some years. There was a restaurant called Wings, I think by the draw bridge into Lake Charlevoix We always had dinner there and watched all the boats coming and going. The land you bought looks just like I remember that neck of the woods. I wound up in southern Vermont, so I didn't do to bad either.

[@mattgirgenti3595]

I'm sure you know this by now, but ya'll make really cute babies! Congrats on the property. Looks like a perfect spot for totally adaptable future plans. Could not be happier for the entire family. Renata seems content with you, wherever that may be. Life doesn't get better than that. Congrats again and well done!!

[@KarenLCSmith]

You are blessed and making fabulous decisions for you future. A bit envious.

[@jimasman550]

Awesome....welcome to Michigan!

[@barbmoff7098]

Love it all..So glad to see you again.

[@MarkFuchs]

You both are good story tellers. I'm sure there will be more about your land and, hopefully, about your sailing.

[@charlieh3998]

Very cool, we have a place on the west side of the state and when I’m not there I think about being there.

[@stevenblack122]

May thru October is great to be outside….above freezing and long days. Have spent lots of time about 30-40 miles south of there. Wonderful surroundings and people. Enjoy

[@Sean19419N]

Congrats on the new property. A perfect sledding hill :) Top of my list as well!

[@rollinrock6696]

Looking forward to seeing you build the house…

[@ericwertheimer4997]

Wonderful piece of property...made me homesick for Charlevoix! We built a place on a beautiful cove on the Bras D'or lake on Cape Breton Island nova scotia, but I still miss CVX. Well done.. Congrats!

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

I look forward to watching you build out your property. I could see Kirk transforming into Shawn James and going full on My Self Reliance. Thank you for such a lovely video. May the blessings of Jesus, Allah & Buddha be on your family.

[@joshf8477]

So happy for you guys! We did it opposite of you. Bought land to develop in northern MI and now scoping the market for a 40-45ft sailboat to do a circumnavigation! Keep on with the dreams! :)

[@Sean19419N]

Passed under the Charlevoix bridge many times heading to beaver island.

[@jameshansen9609]

I’m happy for you! I have Michigan roots and am moving to Traverse City soon from Portland OR after 11 years. Good luck. Love your show.

[@tammyscott3868]

I don’t blame you for having a homestead to come back to! Congrats!

[@lkoch57]

Great video, following dreams

[@serenecandle]

Beautiful episode!

[@bsquared3380]

Boyne City and Charlevoix are some of my all time favorite spots. I’ll keep an eye out for Soulianis on the lake and you guys in town. Alpine Chocolate Haus ice cream on me.

[@SailingSoulianis]

Oooh sounds good :)

[@waynedoeblin6801]

That's a lovely place to call home,congratulations 🙂

So happy for the three of you . Let the new adventure start .Mazel Tov ......!

[@Capfka]

Great stuff, guys, and you have a really beautiful little girl! Well done all round.

[@itsbriankearney]

Congratulations on the decision/purchase - buildings are houses, y'all are creating a home for your family.

[@SailingSoulianis]

Yes we are :)

[@johnmccormick175]

Congratulations what a great property!....Great video,thanks for sharing ! :-)

[@Graystoke]

Congratulations! Looks beautiful.

[@HandyMan657]

Now that is a nice slice of life, congratulations!

[@ES-xc6fk]

So cool to see you may have ended up less than an hour from us. I have followed you since your trip to Charlevoix a few years ago. Its great to see how you think things out and follow through. We are from the villiage of Williamsburg, like you mentioned there are so many great places in Michigan to explore and enjoy.

[@SvCoffeecup]

Very cool guys! Looks cold though. Lol. Nice piece of property though

[@donlehman142]

Is is always good to have a home to come after a long sailing adventure.
